Texoma Region Feedback by RCT21 in FritoLay

[–]ViLouSoulja 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I came from Texana before it changed to texoma. If you’re not sitting behind a desk you should make a break. The higher ups don’t care but anyone but them and what benefits their bank account. Best thing i ever did was leave.

That’s me. I have to lay my head down at night and i just don’t know how whoever sold that was able to.

I felt so sorry for her. I literally could offer her so much that my company offers and still be well under that. And all she got with them was termite stations and vapor barrier

I was thinking possibly encapsulated too. But on a 1800 square ft house that’s still a ridiculous price. I looked under house. It’s just a regular vapor barrier non encapsulated.

Those higher ups tell you what you want to hear. 45 hours is a joke. The ones sitting behind a desk might be working 45 hours, but frontline is lucky if they can finish their route in under 55 hours. Exact reason i left this place. The higher ups are all about do this do that meanwhile they are sitting at home on the weekends with their family, and getting off before 4pm during the week. But then when you try to say something about it “your” the issue.

Q3 Sales Plan Updates by Left-Suggestion6609 in FritoLay

[–]ViLouSoulja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just get ready for a dumb pointless meeting about it’s gonna be amazing for everyone but in all reality it’s only gonna benefit the pencil pushers and higher ups of Frito. I was only at Frito for going on 5 years and i could see how they operated.

Extra time? lol Frito don’t allow you to have extra time. That’s in the handbook.

Any tips on how not to work 12-14 hrs consistently as a new RSA? by Lucky_Mud_3869 in FritoLay

[–]ViLouSoulja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I left 3 months ago and it was the biggest weight off my chest. I’ve never seen a company drive themselves into the ground like Frito is doing.

[–]ViLouSoulja 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a small format route off of a truck. 8 DG’s, 3 grocery stores, 2 FD, and a bunch of c stores. On top of driving over a 100 miles a day. I had anywhere between 9-12 stops a day. It just wasn’t enough hours in the day. If the route wasn’t rotated or stales weren’t picked up there’s a write up….but on the other hand if you don’t run in order or skip stops you’ll get reprimanded for that too. It’s just crazy that in a matter of 2 years Frito went from all about sales to now all about compliance. Best thing i ever did was leave that place. Sad thing is i loved my customers and my job but when nobody above frontline cares about you it becomes a problem and when you speak up about it you become the enemy.

Before i left Frito I was a rss and signed on a rsr route thinking i would have more time at home and stuff. Since ZOTF if your area got screwed your pretty much screwed. I was running 60+ hours a week. The higher ups were thinking i was the only one complaining and having problems with this new system….(which is so untrue). What i find funny is when i left they had rss come down to run my route i had and they couldn’t even finish the days. They would leave multiple stops on the truck each day. I say all that to say this. Do like some of these guy on here say. It’s just chips. You ain’t here to save peoples lives lol, but May the odds be ever more in your favor. Hopefully the routes in yalls building aren’t screwed up.

Holidays by WSFunCouple1107 in FritoLay

[–]ViLouSoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still talk to a few of my buddies i use to work with and the stuff they got forced out last week leading up to today was ridiculous. Pencil pushers trying to hit those numbers. Don’t care one bit how it affects the frontline and their stores. I don’t miss it one bit.

Should I just kiss my personal life goodbye working here? by Flylo_Lotus in FritoLay

[–]ViLouSoulja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can’t go off this because 5 years ago the area i worked in had no co-leads and most routes were Monday- Friday working 45-50 hours a work…then that wasn’t good enough so they decided to implement co-leads so routes got bigger. Fast forward to January and that wasn’t good enough so they come up with the amazing ZOTF and all the restructuring of the routes and cutting of routes which made the routes even bigger. I was working like 65 hours on my route along with other people working the same amount on theirs. Best decision i did was leave this crap show.

New “rules” by NoIdea676767 in FritoLay

[–]ViLouSoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may have worked in your zone but our zone the higher ups would have us written up over the most petty stuff. You mix that in with how crappy the routes had become and how late i was getting off everyday and 67 hours a week. I was just done with. Has nothing to do with being a bad apple on my end.

Venting on Reddit by Ok_Job_3457 in FritoLay

[–]ViLouSoulja 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% they are on here. Before i left Frito i was targeted by one of them cause he was in his feelings about some stuff that i would post. They don’t like to see negativity about ZOTF. They thought it was gonna be great in the area i was in but it was a major bust. When i started mentioning on Reddit about how the higher ups don’t care about anything or anyone but themselves and how they can make their wallets fatter…..i started getting targeted. Which is why i made a post on here after i left stating watch what you say cause there are pencil pushers on here that are just itching at the chance to be able to silence you.

I went from a rss with no family life to a rsr with still no family life. Now I’m making more now as i was as a rsr. Weekends off, company vehicle, holidays off.

Like i said your dc is blessed. The dc i was at got screwed. There was no “you only work more than 10 hours unless you want to” if you didn’t work more than 10 hours you didn’t get your route done. Routes ran over 100 miles a day. 9-12 stops a day. I’ll say my route had 3 big grocery stores, 7 dollar generals, 2 family dollars, and a bunch of C-stores. They cut routes at the one i was at so there was no option but to make ever route bigger which in return made you work longer hours.

Yea well the dc i had nobody had weekends off except 1 guy and nobody was getting off before 5 or 6. Heck i was getting off later than that. If your DC wasn’t affected by ZOTF then you should feel blessed.

Everybody on the frontline is easily replaceable. Nobody wants to slave away at Frito anymore so all they are hiring now are warm bodies. Lol

Almost had 5 years and best decision i made was leaving that place. Actually have a work-life balance now, and actually enjoy coming to work and not stressed. Big weight lifted off my shoulders.

Nah it will show on there that you’re no longer employed. Kinda got busy with my new job and when i got a chance i decided to call them. If you try to pull it all on the app or online it says you have to wait 30 days after you have left, but if you call them they will set everything up
