Vantaggi
I make great money for the demographical area that I live in. The benefits are not bad but they use to be better. When I started 10 years ago the benefits were better. They keep taking more and more from us each year. Example: We use to get 10% of our annual salary in Stock options each year. Frito decided to lower that to 6% and match 50% of our 401K contributions up to 4%. Basically, they took 2% away. Of course, I realize that it wasn't my money anyway. Example: 10 years ago, I would pay 20 dollars for a co-pay when I went to the doctor. Now, we have deductibles that never get met. I had surgery last year and my max out of pocket for BCBS was 2700. I paid over 4000 out of pocket and BCBS will not reimburse. I used network doctors and facilities. For 2009, Medco will no longer pay for Allergy perscriptions. I take a med that is not available over the counter so I will be stuck with a 95 Dollar perscriptions every month.
Svantaggi
Work/life balance is not there. Fritolay preaches work/life balance and say they are a family oriented organization but most employee's work weekends, holidays, nights, etc. Everyone is overwhelmed and has too much on their collective plates. Management is inconsistent and you can't depend on them to go to bat for you.
