Vantaggi

Used to have flexibility since we were remote (even prior to Covid). Not anymore.

Svantaggi

- The leadership at the executive level has archaic ideals. They believe forcing employees who have always been remote (even prior to Covid) will create “culture” and “engagement”. All it is doing is creating a culture where everyone trauma bonds over the absolute terrible leadership by sending each other memes, TikTok’s, gifs and reels about how miserable they are because their company is terrible. They are making it pretty clear their goal is to get people to quit so they don’t have to lay them off and pay severances. - Acosta is way behind on pay. They have done numerous pay assessments with outside parties that return the same results “below market value” every time and they continue to do nothing to change pay. - “Merit increase” (if you can call them that) were as low as 1% this year. - The company knows the employee perception is so bad they created this new Glassdoor page for the “Acosta Group” instead of trying to improve the score of the original Acosta account. Don’t be fooled. The company would be below a 3.0 if they hadn’t created a new page and hounded current employees to go to Glassdoor. - Acosta is a sinking ship that will run its employees into the ground until they quit. After that, they will not backfill and just give those remaining more work with no pay. This is how HR operates at the company.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
