How to get a job at FRITO LAY.

Wilderness of Mirrors in Cheyenne, Wyoming said: November 3rd, 10AM. Received a call from District HR for a scheduled interview, which had a DSL designate and a manager, both very cordial, friendly, but business-minded. Interview scheduled for November 5th.

November 5th, 2PM. Interview. Arrived 30 minutes early (per HR) to complete paperwork. Paperwork consisted of consent forms, formal Frito corporate application, and more detasiled info about the job. Interview lasted one hour, plus. We interviewd each other, LOL. I had questions, and I asked them. I gave detailed answers to the questions they asked.

At the conclusion of the interview, I was thanked formally, and was told that "Frito has other applicants to interview, and that if Frito decided to move forward, I would be interviewed again by the ZOM" (Zone Manager), which I believe is the overall "boss" of the DC. I shook each persons' hand, thanked them, and left.

And that, all my hopeful friends, is my timeline of this process, specific to the Mountain District (N.CO/WY/NE/SD), from logging on and filling out an application online, through to the 2nd formal face-to-face interview (of 3 potential interviews).

Hopefully, this will help alleviate some fears, trepidation or answer any questions you may have about the "mechanics" of the application/interview process.

Again, good luck to all!

Did you have the drug test, background check, and DOT physical? that all came for me before the big guy interview.

Nope...never made it past the 2nd interview. Received a "no thanks" email about 3 days after my 2nd interview. Someone else had previous route experience over me (even though I worked for FedEx for 3 years while in college).

Even though the 2nd interview lasted well over an hour, and we interviewed each other, I have a feeling I was overqualified...they took one look at me on paper, and probably thought I'd haul ass to greener pastures when/if the "going got tough" (I have a Master's degree). Oh well. They were nice folks, though. Overall, my experience was positive.

Good luck to all...as this is my last post.

Captain Kangaroo in Raleigh, North Carolina said: That is about the salary range. Remember Frito Lay is all Commission not Hourly. When you are on a commission job, it does not matter how many hours you work, its getting the work done. After a many months or a year when you really become experiences and know how to get the job completely done properly as well as have a solid trust factor with your stores and Frito Lay DSL's, you can cut those hours down. When I left as an RSR I was working about 38 hours. So speed to get it done and make more on commission is the key. Cutting corners will hurt you. It depends on your motivation level and quickness to figure out how to get it done still maintaining standards.

ASK THE CAPT MANY MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT FRITO LAY.

I have an interview with Frito lay as a RSR next monday. Right now I work for Coke as a store merchandiser.I've been reading this forum, and I was wondering if you have an answer to my question.
I heard that they start around 600.00/week. Am I going to make 600/week even if I work 60-65 hours?! That just doesn't sound right.
Please let me know.Thanx.

Did you receive the job from Frito? If so, do you still work there and do you like the company?
