Vantaggi
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.
Svantaggi
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).
