Pros

Unless you are a real screwup, you won't get fired. Everyone has to eat so whether the economy is up or down, Acosta is growing. Decent people and the work load is reasonable. People aren't paid to work 60 hours/week. Company, from the CEO on down is very family oriented so if you need to take off for kids, etc it isn't a big deal. Very much of "as long as you get your work done, it's ok."

Cons

Very flat organization so little/no chance of promotion. Food industry doesn't make a lot of profits so chances for promotions/raises are slim. Organization is VERY siloed. Sharing of information is virtually non-existent. HR is worthless, Goals for the next year aren't done until midway through the year. Year runs Nov 1 - Oct 31. Goals aren't set or even talked about until February which is 2nd quarter.
