An archaic company, set in their ways which lacks any form of human compassion. - Field Manager Acosta Group Employee Review

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.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we are truly saddened that we had to make some of our team redundant during the pandemic. Unfortunately, the nature of our industry means that our client's can decide to reduce team sizes or make changes to the structure and there is not too much we can do once the decision has been made - this decision also meant that furlough was not an option as the role was no longer there. We do try to move any employee that is facing redundancy into another role within the business, however, on this occasion we were sadly unable to find a role. There are a number of ways to feedback through management and we actively welcome this engagement. We want to provide a great place to work for everyone and take on board comments from across all roles and levels. Our employee surveys directly impact policy development and practices to make the company better. Please do feel free to contact us if you would like to discuss your review any further.

Pros

The remote work options are a genuine benefit and the work/life balance is reasonable, you are unlikely to be asked to grind evenings and weekends. There are also some genuinely amazing, talented and hardworking individuals scattered across the organization who make the day-to-day more bearable. Great place for those early in their careers looking to get broad exposure to the retail space.

Cons

If your company has been acquired by Acosta Group, consider your options carefully before deciding to stay. In my experience, the acquisition environment comes with significant challenges: - Compensation stagnation regardless of performance, while executive bonuses remain unaffected - Benefit packages that are costly to employees and provide limited real value - Little to no internal mobility or growth opportunity - Aging tools and infrastructure that limit what you can accomplish - Hiring practices that prioritize internal relationships over qualifications - Workload expectations that routinely exceed what a single role should carry without corresponding compensation - Management that is largely inaccessible and avoids direct communication with their teams I stayed longer than I should have hoping things would improve. They did not. If you are weighing whether to make the transition with your acquired company, my honest advice is to evaluate your options sooner rather than later.
