Grow your route, get your income cut...

Anyone ever sell, sell, sell only to have the Company "engineer your route" to give you more to time to sell? LOL, If you have been an RSR for Frito you know that company line, only thing is year after year PEP grows, but does your income keep up? The CEO of Frito made 17.5 Million in 07', thats where you hard work went right to the top. Few have been with Frito longer than a few years because of the wsy they treat their people and the lack of support you get when you need it. What about work life balance? Do you have that? Are you ever gonna make 50k+++ and work less than 55-60 hours a week? How about those awesome holiday(PUSH) weeks, work your butt off, cram products in the back room of stores, sell bigger displays than our accounts can turn before you have to stale the product? Then to deal with all the goals and intiatives and pressure from an inept management team? The answer is no, this organization was once known for being the "Employer of choice", now you would be hard pressed to make it a career as an RSR or DSL, lucky to not get burned out or hurt on the job within 3-5 years.
