WinCo Foods’ Post

I’ve been with Frito Lay for a little over four years now, which is a small fragment of time compared to some of my closest colleagues and peers. I started in Federal Way Washington, and I genuinely didn’t know what the future held for me at Frito Lay. I’ve worked at the Frito Lay Warehouse in Tumwater Washington and ultimately transferred to Jacksonville Florida with Frito Lay to marry the woman I had been dating for several years, to build our life together and start a family. Everything has gone as according to plan! Working at The Jacksonville Warehouse has been a very rewarding and yet challenging experience for me both on a personal and professional level. I am Jacksonville Florida’s Original Site Expert Trainer, the first to be certified, even though I was often the one to train our New Hires or provide guidance to those who struggled utilizing the tools we have to perform our jobs or needed the guidance to navigate their own abilities to become more efficient. I’ve noticed that after becoming a site expert trainer for Frito Lay, in my personal experience, I’ve been required to learn and adopt the skills needed to perform almost every job within our facility. There has been a significant number of challenges we face and I’ve been very adamant about voicing my concerns and raising awareness about many different elements within our work environment that could and should be addressed to create the best possible workplace for our employees. Frito Lay as a whole is a great company and I believe has many great benefits, wonderful opportunities however many of them are limited to specifically college graduates. There are many people who’ve put in the blood, sweat and tears into the company and have a great deal of experience, knowledge and skills, the type of skills, knowledge and experience that makes a person a real asset to a company, and they have been bypassed by an intern from a college. In my opinion, there is a significant divide between those who have earned their college education and those who’ve invested their lives into Frito Lay, and it just doesn’t seem to make a great deal of sense to me. People that are on the management level have told me that it’s ultimately because hiring an intern is cheaper than paying someone that has established a level of tenure with the company. I genuinely feel like that removes the incentive for people that are wanting to make Frito Lay a career. I’ve been trained to do almost everything within our warehouse, and have inquired about supervisor positions, I’ve been told I would make a great supervisor however we have too many supervisors, and the unfortunate part, is there are a few of these “ supervisors “ that do not conduct themselves as such, there is limited oversight on their performance in addition limited amount of accountability. So you can imagine the situation, and some of the frustration that comes with that. I want Frito Lay to continue to succeed and I can help that happen.
