Why should ConAgra benefit from our knowledge after they have let us go? Let alone only pay out 1/2 of the severance.
I'm not applying, I already deleted the link to the micro site for Acosta. No way. You will also not get a car. Maybe get a car allowance for less than a year before they take it away. And bonus and merit increase? You will never get one.
You will find that you are probably already paid more than every other Acosta person, so you will also be taking on additional brands/ company lines. This is why Acosta sales reps are hated in the industry. They are good people who are spread too thin to be effective.
They have persistently had this reputation. I have friends who worked for them. It is a hell hole. You are there by 7 am and leave at 7 pm and still are not able to accomplish. You are inundated so much that you will not have the opportunity to look for a job.
The only good thing about working for Acosta is that you get to meet so many different manufactures that you can network.
Good luck to all, I hope NONE of the sales force goes to Acosta. NONE. Screw ConAgra just like they have screwed us.
