Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Pittsfield, MA – Reviewed Sep 18, 2012
Interview Details – Pretty lengthy. People seem to get mad that they check DMV records but you drive a truck so they should. Hair Follicle drug test too. They want people with integrity and there is nothing wrong with that.
Interview Question – Some of the questions that you take on Fritolayemployment.com are tough. Graphs and some actual math questions. I think all the questions are great though because if you can't make it through the testing then maybe you really fit for the job. Answer Question
Negotiation Details – I was 21 when I got hired. Hmmmm... negotiation was - "We have a route for you. You will probably make 50-55k this year. Sound good?" I was 21 with only a H.S. diploma. Incredible opportunity!!

No Offer – Interviewed in Federal Way, WA Jul 2012 – Reviewed Jul 29, 2012
Interview Details – Pretty standard interview consisting of selling the company, the district and the local manager pretty heavily. There were a few questions about sales but, because I am overweight, the interviewer began to focus on how "Hard" the work was and that when "I worked the truck, I was in pretty good shape and it was still a workout for me". It was pretty obvious that they weren't interested in anyone that is overweight.

No Offer – Interviewed in Decatur, GA Aug 2010 – Reviewed Aug 12, 2010
Interview Details –
I'm currently unemployed and needed something to bring in some income, while I was looking for something more related to my field and experience. The process was a little weird with the 1st interview, which I thought was 1-on-1, turned into a group presentation about the position. They spent most of their time trying to talk you out the job by telling you how physically demading the position can be at times.
A week later I had a 1-on-1 interview which consisted of pretty basic interview questions (i.e. Why would you be a good fit for this position?). That went really well and they told me that I would be scheduled for a
ride-a-long with one of the current RSR's to get a good feel for the position and then a panel interview the following week. After getting that scheduled they then did my background check and found a stupid open container mistermeaner while tailgaiting at a concert in 2006, which was unexceptable since they will not hire anyone with anytype of mistermeaner within the last 7 years.
My point is, if you have anything on your record, don't bother because they won't hire you.
Interview Question – They were all very easy. Answer Question

No Offer – Interviewed in Beltsville, MD Jul 2010 – Reviewed Jul 26, 2010
Interview Details – Applied online. Received a call to come in for a job overview meeting. Meeting was with 7 other candidates and there were more than one scheduled meeting, based on their sign in sheet at the receptionist's desk. They described positions, benefits, etc. and you filled out an application. I received a letter a few days later saying they weren't interested. However at the overview, they said the next step was an unpaid ride-a-long with one of their drivers. Then the interview with 3 people, followed by a background check and drug test (using hair samples). Process said to take 3-6 weeks
