Pros

Some positions can make their own schedules Can choose jobs

Cons

Never get a raise Never get a bonus Extremely poor mileage reimbursement and "office supply"(paper and printer ink to print out your assignments at home)reimbursement is a joke Work not consistent, some months/weeks you are at 40 hours & sometimes you are lucky to get 8 hours a week. Get emails about all the great things that happen at the offices, but nothing ever for the work from home folks

Pros

Freedom to work as you choose No micromanagement Flexible schedule

Cons

Underpaid and overworked Walmart and Sam's Club associates you work in the different stores don't want to help you, when you have questions or set up displays Often times they do not want to be bothered by you at all Mileage for driving needs to be at least 50 cents per mile with driving from one store to another to match the inflation of gas prices Salary is only $12-13 an hour, not enough No salary increases per year No raises at all No holiday or birthday recognition No gifts or shout outs for your birthday or Christmas Not the worse company to work for, but not the best, it is mediocre Management gets upset when displays aren't setup, but you are unable to find them in the store, they are hidden or lost, not your fault and management needs to realize it has to do with the disorganization of the store as a whole, why displays can't be found or setup It happened to other employees also This is a job for flexible supplemental additional income, but not stable enough with enough clients for a full time job, to be paid and live off of well, with paying major bills

Pros

Nothing really, I could say flexibility with you're schedule but that can and will be used against you if they are looking to get rid of you.

Cons

In eight years, I got shuffled around to three different positions within the company servicing Meijer stores, Walmart stores, Kroger Stores, Sam's Club Stores, and Costco Stores all at different times within my three different positions. I never once received a raise. I won almost every single contest on my teams and made my bosses and their bosses look extremely good! I helped train team members when our bosses couldn't seem to be bothered. I even stayed with the company through the covid pandemic, product shortages, and getting my hours cut just to be falsely accused of committing time clock fraud and fired! In actuality, Im opening my own business and my manager said I was doing too much and was stretched thin so out of what I assume was jealousy she accused me of falsifying my work... Managers do nothing, you are on your own from day one and once you get some years under your belt they will look for the first opportunity to fire you! Your job is sort of pointless therefore you are just an employee number to the higher ups! There is zero job security due to contracts being negotiated yearly and from my experience Acosta has an extremely bad reputation amongst other vender companies and within the grocery store realm. Get used to eye rolls upon entering a grocery store and stating that you're from Acosta! Just RUN AWAY its not worth it!
