Started a new job this weekend...

Well for those of you who do not know, I used to be an installer at Circuit City, for over 2 years. About 6 months ago, I was involved in a car accident, and due to my injuries, I was not able to work for over 6 months. I have since left Circuit City, and have been without a job for a little while (my car insurance company covered all of my lost wages for those ~6 months).

This weekend I started a new job, working with Frito Lay. Basically, I drive to local stores, and pack out Frito Lay products. I started at $11.25, plus I get $.49/mile I drive. I'm only working 3 days/week for the time being, but I put in over 200 miles of driving for those days, so it works out pretty well.

Anyway, this job is pretty cool after 2 days. Only time I have to go to the main offices are to pick up my paychecks. If I'm scheduled to work at say 9am, I can get there within a few hours after that, as long as I get there in a reasonable time. I fill out my own timesheet, and my own mile records, so it's pretty cool. I can wear whatever I want, and don't have to deal with ANYONE. After working in retail for 5+ years, I'm so glad I don't have to deal with douchebags anymore.

What kind of truck do they have you driving?

Glad you found something.

Does it have much upward potential?

I drive my own car. I really don't mind the miles, because I don't drive much at all, and my car is an 06. All of the product is already in the stores, so I don't have to lug around product.

As far as upward potential, at this point, I really don't care. I just need something to get some money while I finish school. Over the summer I'm going to be working full time, but during school I'll only be doing 3 days/week.

Oh sweet...I was wondering if they had you driving some huge rig or something...was gonna ask about what kind of stereo they would let you put in there...but you answered my question...doesn't sound like a bad job...I agree retail sucks ***...even though I'm getting paid while I write this message....nothing is worse than the general, know it alll, ******* public.

cool, good to hear. i welded for a bit, then started a courier job, which in turn lead me to get inside the office, at first doing customer service, but i recently got promoted to sales rep, and i have been driving the company car around visiting clients, and talking top prospective clients. its great when no one is watching over your shoulder isn't it.
