Pros

In this economy any job is a good job. Acosta does give generous vacation and personal day time-off.

Cons

Acosta is a very large company and distinguishing yourself from the masses is difficult to do.  It is also, I believe, a rather inflexible organization. The company has begun to pass on some of the costs of doing business to its employees rather than to its customers. Acosta's health benefits are on the stingy side and their payroll processes are out-dated.

Pros

Great Management. Leadership. Ability to advance to a better position by proving pride in a job well done.

Cons

I can't think of any downside to working for Acosta, except pay rates. I have been with other companies in the area, and I know the pay is about the same across the board, but it's really hard to make ends meet. I like my job, the management, and the company- that's important to me. At the same time, buying a pair of sox shouldn't be a major purchase decision.

Pros

There is alot schedule flexibility as to making my own schedule of stores. The benefit program is pretty good! Also, Acosta really supports rapport building...this gives me company support to establish and build up key relationships within my accounts. They really make an effort to recognize a job well done.

Cons

There have been NO raises during my employment. Also, in this particular job, we must carry handhelds - they are very outdated and difficult to navigate - they are constantly having technological issues with them. These handhelds are the key to our jobs...a bit difficult to work if your main key element is not working properly!
