Pluspunten

I used to enjoy working for Frito Lay as an RSR. The hours were long and the work was hard, but the money to be made from commission was good. Then we just found out that the company is restructuring and our jobs in the large format stores are being completely cut. Now we have the choice of getting on a truck if we can (most can't because of seniority) or taking an hourly position with no commission, which is a 35-50% pay cut. Frito Lay has posted record profits the past few years, but they keep devaluing their workers.

Minpunten

The company does not value its workers, plain and simple. Some of our guys have been working there for 20 years and are having their livelihood taken away when it's too late to begin somewhere else. Imagine going from $65,000/year to $33,000/year for doing the same kind of work. No room for advancement. No performance/merit-based raises, you'll make the same for working hard as the joker who doesn't. Do not work for this company if you can avoid it--your efforts will not be rewarded. And if you work for Frito Lay and this hasn't happened in your zone yet, HEADS UP! There will be a nationwide rollout. Look at Kansas City for examples. No more RSRs, now just Customer Service Specialists (merchandisers with added responsibilities making hourly pay around 16 bucks/hour).

Pluspunten

Worked for PepsiCo for 10 years across four locations in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Florida. Gained experience in multiple sales and operational roles while supporting account growth, merchandising, and customer relationships. Florida locations were especially well-operated and efficient. PepsiCo provided competitive pay, solid benefits through Keystone, and a good vacation package compared to competitors in the beverage industry. The company also offered strong sales incentive programs, earning rewards such as Orlando Magic floor seats, Pro Bowl tickets, Apple Watches, and Yeti cups for exceeding performance goals and driving sales results.

Minpunten

While PepsiCo promotes internal growth opportunities, many promotions and leadership opportunities appeared to favor college internship hires over long-term internal employees. In some cases, newer college-based management pushed corporate initiatives without fully understanding local market realities or account volume trends. For example, innovation products were sometimes forced into low-volume accounts where sell-through was unrealistic. Operationally, certain delivery processes could be improved, particularly with Tropicana products being stored in coolers on trucks for extended periods, which could impact product quality and increase waste. Work-life balance could also be challenging, as sales representatives commonly worked 50–60 hour weeks. Expectations from corporate leadership were often unrealistic, especially when customer representatives and drivers were expected to fully stock stores while servicing 15+ accounts per day. Experiences could also vary depending on whether locations were union or non-union operated.
