Frito Lay does conduct background checks and drug screenings on all new employees. "We do not conduct background checks until an offer of employment has been made and accepted. Our Company will consider for employment qualified applicants with criminal histories in a manner consistent with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and all other applicable laws. A negative drug screen is required for all roles within Frito Lay. Additionally, we follow both state and federal guidelines regarding medical marijuana, based on job role." Also, according to external sources online, former employees reported that corporate office candidates are not drug tested, but applicants for factory and driving positions do have to complete a five-panel urine test and drug screening to gain employment.

You want to showcase you are a team player and would do whatever it takes to earn being awarded this job. If you are concerned with what a background check might turn up, it is always best to display integrity by transparently sharing anything you are worried might turn up on your background check and to offer context to what they'll discover. This will showcase your integrity and that you have nothing to hide, take ownership of your past, and have grown.

"I saw online that a background check and drug test is a requirement. I have no problem with either. I don't do drugs and have a clean record. When do you perform the drug test, and how frequently is it required? Would I have to go to a clinic, or is it done on premises?"
