Gone to management about issues out of my control multiple times only to be brushed of and then receive disciplinary action for said issues.
product & services with focus on Ai
Challenging in the beginning. But a wonderful company for those who want to progress at work and desire creating a career.

How do I do well in an interview at Acosta?
Don't ask dumb questions.
Acosta is a sales and marketing company with a primary focus in retail. Highlight your retail experiences. Are you a fantastic merchandiser? Can you complete resets like a pro? Are you a quick counter who can accurately complete audits? The recruiters want to hear stuff like that. They also like strong leadership skills and people who are self starters, since most of the company's work is done through remote workers. Also, if you've ever been in retail management, even if you were a shift leader at McDonald's 10 years ago, throw it out there. Most of the people I've worked with are former retail supervisors. I hope this helps anyone looking to interview. Good luck!
You should have grocery experience to be a merchandiser

How can I improve my chances of being hired at Acosta Sales & Marketing?
Experience in the requested job is helpful, but often it's just being in the right place at the right time. Monitor the website very often fir new jobs, although some are internal hires that still must be posted. Recruiters call first, but they're not company employees & only have limited company knowledge. Large turnover, so jobs should come up often enough. Be careful about taking a job driving long distances due to the reimbursement policy. Good luck!

Stay active watching the postings, as there are always jobs available. Reimbursement for travel is VERY low, so be careful of your job & travel required.
