Pros

You get a paycheck. It somewhat pays the bills and it's good for some people who have children and need something part time.

Cons

The health insurance is horrible and a waste of money. Some of the people you work with are nasty and should not be there. Mileage reimbursement needs to be increased-gas prices are out ragous!

Pros

-Flexible Schedule allows associates to adjust their schedules as neccessary. If you have an appointment in the afternoon, you can start an hour earlier than usual. -Three weeks PTO -Gets you great looking experience for your Resume

Cons

-Mileage reimbursement is poor. When you get your taxes done, be sure to have them adjust for the actual amount the IRS allows you to deduct vs what Acosta pays for mileage -No matter how hard you work or overperform, it isn't rewarded in the form of merit based pay raises. In the time I've been here I've gotten some of the highest scores on my team. In spite of this I've never received a raise. -There is no accountability for your supervisors in the form of 180 reviews. In essence, you don't have a voice because you can't address a matter directly with your supervisor since you're ever conscious of the fact that they control a very heavy part of your performance scores and you don't want to get on their bad side.

Pros

Working alone, usually. Getting paid okay amount.

Cons

Physical job. No guarantee of hours yet when they hire you they say something different. Crawling on dirty floors, lifting heavy 4 ft wide shelves that often are stuck, lack of concise helpful direction from planogram planner which would speed up product removal and placement. Working as a group with a bunch of cackling women who claim they know best and think they are speed racers. Mgmt's casual thoughtless transfer of employees wherever mgmt wants. Employees stealing each other's hours or mgmt giving away hrs that should have been someone else's.
