Pros

Benefits and personal flexibility. You can plan your own schedule and you work alone while being out among people.

Cons

Acosta assigns more store visits than you possibly do, due to the travel involved. Additionally, they take 2 hours and 40 miles a day from your salary and call this commute time, so you end up getting ripped off nearly $1,000 per month and working 50 hour weeks. It is particularly unfair to anyone that has a rural route where you have to drive hundreds of miles everyday! Moreover, they won't pay overtime and set unrealistic expectations about how much time should be spent on administration and planning. You are give two hours a week outside the stores to handle shipments, email, expense reports, mileage input, ordering, hotel reservations, and more. The supervisors push, push, push for extended store time and results, but do not take into consideration of what is humanly possible due to chance, weather, driving conditions, etc. Google maps is not a crystal ball that can predict that it will only take two hours to get somewhere, and it seems that everyone understands this except for those that run Acosta teams. They have taken what should be an enjoyable and rewarding job and turned it into an exercise of fighting the clock for pay and management for fairness. Within weeks you could find yourself feeling cheated by what appears to be nickle and dime corporate greed.

Pros

Some degree of autonomy. Praise from mgt for innovations and creative solutions but compensation doesn't come close to reflecting that.

Cons

No raise (I provided innovations which directly increased company's bottom line), Zero communication skills, DISHONEST, ABUSIVE...
