Pros

Great people to work with. Great product. Lots of product innovation.

Cons

Promotions and recognition is not performance based; it is based on race, gender, age. Nearly impossible to make it into management internally. "You have to come in at a high level"

Pros

Large company with vast resources. Has significant retail experience and presence, so if you have interest in learning about how my market at a mass scale, this is a decent place. Interesting to manage operations that require refridgeration and a complex supply chain.

Cons

If you are interested in a varied experience, this is not the place. Trop is focused on being a small part of the PepsiCo portfolio. I left right when Neil came on, and his focus is profitability. If you want a place the will give you the experience of brand equity building, work on Gatorage or Pepsi. Also, Pepsi is going to move all of their beverages to NY in the next 3-5 years (in my opinion). Therefore, if working in Chicago is important to you this may be a shot term opportunity.

Pros

Great Company, Great Benefits, Great People! There is never a lack of challenging work to do and everyday can be a learning experience if you want it to be. I have been fortunate to work for nothing but great leaders in my tenure with Frito-Lay and have learned a variety of skills that I will be able to use throughout the rest of my career. The leadership at Frito-Lay is very good from the top(CEO, Indra) to the front line sales manager. Frito really cares about each and everyone of their employees and tries hard to set everyone of them up for succes!

Cons

Very high expecations and work life balance can be challenging if you manager isn't supportive. In the field it's all about the numbers, and we typically do hit the number! You have to be careful when moving from job to job and really look at the leader you will be working for as well as the job you are applying for, While every leader I have had has been exceptional, I have heard a few horror stories during my career. If you are in the field, the pressure to hit your sales targets can be overwhelming at times. Frito is all about the numbers, it's top priority!
