Don't even know where to start. The hours can be horrible and split work weeks means no full weekends. Positive motivation is not in their vocabulary. Everything is "do this or else." For a union company, there is very little personal time; only two sicks and no personal days. Almost constant harassment for numbers, constant disregard of many contract elements by management and many employees are scared if they file a grievance, they will be harassed until they are fired. Management has no real conscience and upper management is even worse. Region VPs will lie act like you have been buddies forever and lie right to your face. Discipline is a joke. They will write you up for anything they can including accidents if you stupid enough to get hurt or even mention it (yes they will write you up after the fact). If you commit what could be a terminable offense, you will be fired, no questions asked, no regard for past performance or success. It is the most negative work experience you will ever have. They will call you a hero this week, then treat you like garbage if you struggle next week. If you happen to have an education, don't expect it to mean anything here. You might as well toss your degree in the garbage can on your way in. They like to call it a career, but a career indicates opportunities for growth and advancement, something you most likely not see as route sales rep at Frito-Lay. Frito is nothing but a job, nothing else. All in all, the worst career decision you will ever make.
