Pros

will hire almost anyone, as if thats a pro...but I am trying here.

Cons

No raises ever; full time hours are scant, hard to actually hit 40 per week; added responsibities without a raise in pay; Unit Managers have greatly increased number of reps under them making it much harder for them to provide direction and assistance. In the last two years this company has made a lot of changes, servicing more customers per field rep. resulting in lower quality and an environment of responding to 'emergencies'. I felt much better about the job and company when we did proactive work and didn't have to put out fires. There is almost zero prospect of rising from within.

Nobody gets a raise - ever.

Pros

Finish early, get paid for full day.

Cons

I have never met anyone who ever got a raise from Acosta. Some people have been with them for 5 years or more. Not one penny in raises. The mileage reimbursement is not only 20 cents less than the government standard, they will only pay 'as the crow flies' miles, not actual miles driven. As if you have the option of flying to the job site.

Pros

Very flexible hours as long as you get your work done during store hours. Okay car reimbursement. Ability to work independently

Cons

Pay is not good nor are the health benefits. Communication with management can be difficult. Received multiple emails per day that took time to read and respond to. Promotion is difficult or impossible.
