Pros

My particular manager is great about the whole work-life balance situation - senior management of the company, however, is not. Acosta can be a great place for people to gain some training on the industry.

Cons

Holy nepotism. The concept of 6 degrees of separation definitely goes down to 2 connections when you're inside this particular division of the company. When they let people go, they never let the right people go since they are related or play golf with the right person.

An archaic company, set in their ways which lacks any form of human compassion.

Pros

Good place for building your professional network.

Cons

- Due to the nature of the role, working out in the field remotely covering a vast territory can sometimes be isolating. - However at Acosta Group this theme runs deep at the companies core values, and is amplified by a cold dissociation from Account Managers and even at Director level. - The work carried out in the field is rarely understood or acknowledged by the office team, which leads to lack of trust. - No clear cut work/life balance, personal sacrifices made to support the business go unmentioned.

Pros

4 weeks vacation right away (may vary), pension plan matching, benefits, work from home capability (may vary)

Cons

20-30% lower pay guaranteed vs. working for a manufacturer Poor management right from the top down, not transparent and do not care Owned by a holding company, so you are as good as their last fiscal quarter High turnover rate, no one wants to stay because no one likes working here Old mentality with the office lifers, everyone who’s been there for a while is just seeing out their career
