Pros

May 8, 2023 I was hired by Premium/Acosta as a Field Merchandiser. I live in Mid-Missouri. This is one of the greatest, most self fulfilling jobs I have ever had! My manager, Scott, is always available to assist in answering all my questions, offer advice, encourage me and cheer me on. Anytime I have needed to call OSC (Premium's helpline) for help with a service order, I get a friendly, energetic and knowledgeable person on the other end. Everyone at this company I have spoken with has thanked me for my work, encouraged me and been professional, upbeat and very friendly! I love walking into each store with a big smile and feeling so welcomed by store employees. All day I get to take areas of a store and make them clean, beautiful, organized and presentable. I love this job and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a job where you set your own hours, like to be organized and don't mind some physical work. Everyday I get to make a store a little prettier and someone's day a little brighter. Thank you Premium/Acosta!

Cons

I had to learn jobs in the field alone with no one coaching me. I loved it but some may not.

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.
