Acosta Sales & Marketing Employer Reviews

One of the worst companies to work for!! No appreciation, no respect and they do not value their employees!! Especially if you work part time!

large and stable company
good people to work with
always have information needed to do the job

Retail rep, went to Wal Mart and Sam's and made sure they had correct product stocked and tagged and set up displays.

Many of the positions offered are part time calling on convenience stores, many of which have few employees who speak english. Your standing with the company depends on upselling items directly to the store and delivered by their distributor. It's a difficult sell given the fact that communication is nearly impossible. An employee earns very little – more...  commission on these sales. In addition, when traveling your territory, mileage compensation is unfair. It does not nearly cover your expenses as you pile mileage onto your own vehicle.
As they grow and buy out their competitors, very little consideration is given to existing employees and their territories. New employees will displace existing sales associates and their territories.
Daily scan routines in stores are tedious and unappreciated by the stores who often ask why an Acosta employee is there. – less

Great job. Loved it! super people to work with at the company and with the companay

The pay is fair, but only part time work. No benefits for part-timers. Company expects much with little in return. No pay raises.

They do nothing original..no leadership...they copy everyone...crisis management. No one can be this desperate to work for Acosta.

A day at work involves overviewing a schematic and the fine details of how the managers want their products displayed on the shelves. Once an overview is done, our team is assigned their duties and given an area to work from. We all gather the supplies and tools needed for the job, and work commences. We take down the product and clean off the shelves, – more...  rearrange the shelves in their correct measurements so that the merchandise can go up accordingly.
Everyday is a different challenge, different store and different people to work with. You get to see different work ethics amongst the people you work with. We get to work at a different location and interact with different management. During the short time of being with the company, I have heard that getting an increase in pay or being promoted is nearly impossible, but I see much potential in the is company. The great things about working for this company is the flexibility for those with family and other activities. The attitude of people is such welcoming, not only from your team, but in the areas we all get to work in. Management is great and is on top of great communication from their team beneath them. – less

decent job and company, but if ur a quick learner and do ur job right you loose hours. you dont get paid for all ur travel and travel is more then 50% of your time working. I make just enough to get to work the next day, im paid every week and broke before the next paycheck, and I dont even have a car payment or rent. my only bills are cell phone (50) – more...  car insurance (20) then the gas each week (at lease 100 just for work for 4 days) and food on the road (at lease 50 a week) and you have to pay your health insurance which is a minimum of 120 a month! – less

This job comes with a lot of new adventures with flexibility.

This was the core of my experience in the HVAC field and loved every second of it

• Produced forecasting reports on a monthly basis and monitored allocation of promotional funds

I just started working for the company in March. I cannot answer yet.

Great job especially if you have kids. Make your own schedule, visit stores with a laptop. Be polite, take pictures, and communicate mostly through emails. The hardest part of this job is that sometimes you might meet into heavy traffic on the road, the earlier you start the better.

Acosta Sales and Marketing is overall a good company to work for. However, the Hub in the Twin Cities that works with SuperValu does not fit into the national picture of the company. Morale is low, compensation is poor related to the workload, and any chance for promotion is recompensed so little financially that it is rarely a goal for current employees.

graveyard work alot of driving no advancement opportunities

My immediate workgroup was a pleasure to work with, learn from and grow with. This team was responsible for implementing a new learning platform that transformed the learning enviroment for the company at large.

To many management changes and territory restructuring without communication to reps

Work from home office or out in field training others or working in stores; have been able to utilize my degree and have gained a lot of experience pertaining to HR related issues, paperwork, policies, etc.; co-workers are extremely helpful and supportive - great team; hard to find downtime and truly be "off" for a day as emails, phone calls, managing – more...  others is 7 day a week and feel the need to be there for those I manage; apart from co-workers, I enjoy training new hires out in the field and being able to work from home when I'm not traveling – less
