Pros

-Some really great people work for Acosta, especially in the Cincinnati office. I have made numerous friends in my time there and I am not alone in that. -There is a nice work/life balance, especially if you don't let work consume you. -A nice time off package is given.

Cons

-There still is not a clear career path for most roles within the company. -The company does not know how to keep many of the talented people. This is a training ground for people who can come in to learn some very valuable skills and then leave for higher pay at other employers.

Pros

Good vacation accrual, still offer sick leave. That's a pretty sad commentary for an employee with 12 years in...my current supervisor is great but only because he/she ignores lots of management directives and doesn't hound us if we get the job done.

Cons

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.
