Pros

The company has good benefits and depending upon where you work they have work/life balance. It has good entry level experience that can be leveraged in finding jobs elsewhere. You get exposure to management at other companies you are analyzing.

Cons

Management in my group does not communicate to the team. Associates work on different accounts and may be working at the account office instead of Acosta. Little chance to interact with others in the company. Little chance to learn and grow and improve the company. Higher management does not want to hear your ideas for improvement. They have their processes and just want to follow them.

Pros

Acosta is a great place for young CPGers to learn and grow professionally. Working with a multitude of clients and retailers on a daily basis will expose you to the ins and outs of the industry. Rather than learning one way of doing things, at Acosta you get hands-on, real-life experiences as to the methodoligies that different CPG suppliers approach their business in the marketplace.

Cons

Acosta would be a great place to work if the pay was 10%-15% more. Many young Acosta employees will put in their 1-3 year "apprenticeship" so-to-speak and then take their skills and knowledge elsewhere within the industry for greater pay.
