PepsiCo

I don't work for Pepsi, but I'd tend to think you'd see the same disparity in the benefits. The difference in Coca Cola facilities one hour apart in my area (Western PA) are enormous. I'm betting Pepsi is the same way, just my 2 cents.

 

Thanks! I had read somewhere about the bennies starting on day 1 and that is what I was hoping for. $14.55 an hr is what I am starting at as well. I have orientation Monday the 17th. I am leaving a city driver freight job and moving south so this will be a helluva adventure for sure!

 

I am headed to FL. There was nothing wrong with my last job actually I really liked it and it paid well. I just decided I wanted to get out of the snow and ice of the north and began looking for a decent trucking job that I would be off work before 8pm each night like my last job. I found the Pepsi gig and it met the requirements. I am used to hand unloading freight so I am not afraid of hard work. I really like the schedule, I am a morning person.

 

I was In the hiring process of Frito lay until they found out I only had 1 year experience. So they had to throw away my application. They want 2 years experience . I talked to HR if they were willing to work with my experience and they said Nope!!!! So I have to suck it up for a few more months until I hit my 2 yr mark .

 

I applied to work at Frito Lay to and they didn't want me either. Which is fine.

 

Have you had any dealing with the Frito Lay center in Lynchburg VA?

 

No, other than meeting a few of their drivers in our yard here and there. I'm not far enough up in seniority to snag that run when it comes up

 

Alright, thx. I have an interview there on Mon. Jan 9...Guess I'll be getting a lot more info then anyway.
