Acosta reviews

Horrible salaries, I haven't had a raise in 5 years even though my reviews are stellar. The company is currently run by a bunch of good old boys who apparently only think the staff that's in the various offices are worthwhile. Lots of tush kissing and politics. The CEO wants you to buy his new book, but I barely make enough to live on and I am fulltime! Also I am a field Rep and they just took away our car allowances....every way to take from the lowest paid employees is the Acosta way! We workers say we have all been Acosted by Acosta! It's a shame too because some of us care about our jobs and our clients and I don't think the clients know how badly we are treated....or maybe they don't care either.

The pay is horrible. The mileage was 38 cents a mile, and i'm sure its still the same. Supervisors throw new work on you with little to no training. When i started this job I was never formally trained. I had to litterally go into a store with a netbook and do shelf scans, got hounded in the store because nobody knew who I worked for and why I was there. I also worked out in the field and had to drive long distances, which equals a lot of wear and tear on your OWN car. Oil changes and new tires are not cheap, plus I racked up a lot of miles on my car. For the measly pay I was recieving this did not make any sense. Why put wear and tear on my car to work full time hours and only get part time pay? Also, there was never any chances to pull in extra hours, or move up to different positions with better pay. The position I did required that you work on weekends too, this is bad if you have small children and no reliable babysitter. I was on the team that just worked in Wal Mart, so anybody knows that the weekends in Wal Mart are VERY busy which can make your job a hassle at times.
