Pros

Good benefits package and health initiatives in the Minneapolis office. The company provides decent training.

Cons

There is not a lot of upward mobility at Acosta. The like to say they promote from within but almost always hire externally even when there are good internal candidates. They also don’t pay well, and there is almost no raises. The only way to make more money with them is to leave and come back.

Pros

Autonomy: You work out of your car, no office politics, no defined time to arrive and leave. Flexibility: Like starting early? No problem. Stores open at 5 or 6am, so you can startake work then. Not so early? That works too

Cons

Everything is the #1 priority. Which, of course, means, you are always putting out fires. That is not the way to keep motivated employees. Hours and job description can be changed on a dime. You may start as a full-time rep and find in 4 months, that your job has changed to part-time, effective in 1 week. All of a sudden, you no longer get holidays off. And you no longer qualify for benefits.
