Pros

work at my own pace

Cons

No raises in 5 years but people come in at higher rates. When I address this with my boss, and his boss. Its because of the economy which would be believeable if Acosta wasn't buying up other merchandising companies. So you have money to buy other companies but employees can't get raises. Hiring alot of new people when we are laid off in a couple months in November at least in my divison working night shift at Meiers. If I could give no stars I would. Trust me when I get something better am burning this bridge when I leave.

Long Hours, Low Pay

Pros

Upper management does not look over your shoulder at all times. As a Unit Manager, I am given the lattitude to run my team as I see fit.

Cons

No "real" time off. A "normal" work week is 85-100 hours. Even when on vacation, there are constant emails, conference calls, etc. and the work week is still 50+ hours. As a member of management, nothing can really be planned due to upper management and corporate going around in circles with directives. In my 36 years in the industry, this is, BY FAR, the lowest paying job I have ever had. As a result of my dissatisfaction, I am taking early retirement just so I can have some time off.

All travel. Not much compensation with mileage reimbursements. Only PT 30 hours to prevent from paying out benefits.
