Role Overview

The Frito-Lay Summer Contract Route Sales Representative position in Truro, Nova Scotia, is your gateway to an exhilarating career in sales and distribution. This full-time summer role, running from May to September, offers hands-on experience in a fast-paced environment. You'll develop and grow a snack foods business by selling and delivering Frito-Lay products to retail customers including grocery stores, gas stations, and convenience stores. Ideal for college or university students, this position builds foundational skills leading to PepsiCo's Co-op or New Grad programs. Earn $965 per week while gaining exposure to real-world sales dynamics in Canada's vibrant food sector.

Why This Role Stands Out

This isn't just a summer job—it's a strategic entry point into PepsiCo's ecosystem. Expect early mornings starting as early as 5 am, weekends, and the physical demands of lifting up to 50 pounds, all while operating independently on established routes. Stand out by winning the Top Summer RSR Award, complete with a $1,500 bonus.

Key Responsibilities

As a Route Sales Representative, you'll be the face of Frito-Lay in Truro's retail landscape. Your core duties include:

• Merchandising store shelving with Frito-Lay products, rotating inventory for freshness, handling cardboard carton returns, and cleaning racks.
• Driving and delivering: Operate a route sales truck for loading/unloading or use your personal vehicle along assigned routes.
• Selling and ordering: Execute national and local promotions, build eye-catching displays, order inventory to match customer demand, and maintain frequent communication with store managers.
• Sustaining business growth by meeting sales targets, problem-solving, and managing multiple priorities in a dynamic retail setting.

These responsibilities sharpen your sales acumen, logistics expertise, and customer service prowess, all essential for long-term success at PepsiCo.
