| Thanks Jenny. Now i'm wondering if i'll only be working 2 or 3 hours after driving 2 hours to get there. I was hoping for the 7 hours listed for the job or at least 5. |

| Does anyone think the "reorganization" is causing more problems than good? I live in a rural area, but am more than happy to drive to the city for an all day reset. I used to have a lot, now I can't have any because I am not in the right "territory". |

I just accepted an offer for a 'Retail Service Merchandiser' position with Acosta in my area. The lady that I spoke with didn't have too many specifics, but hopefully I'll find out more prior to my end-of-month start date. At least maybe it will be some more hours to add to the mix!

| Not yet...I've gotten some new hire info in the mail, but no job details. Supposed to have online training on Friday, so I should know more then. As for hours, the lady that I spoke with that extended the job offer said up to 35/week. |

I was interested in applying for a couple of open positions with Acosta. One thing that does concern me is that the jobs all say you must be able to lift 60+ pounds. Do any of you actually lift 60+ pounds? I could lift up to 40 but 60 may be too much.  |

I have only done 1 job for them, under the ASAP side, and it was no way near being 60 pounds.
Another question, what is the pay schedule? I can't seem to find it, and I'm waiting on the check for the 1 job that I did 3/30. |

| I was just hired on for a 32 hr/week position, but the recruiter didn't give me much info other than that. Does Acosta use NaturalInsight for all work now? I'm just wondering if this position will be a reset team or simply a project based position where I pick up work (both projects and sets) on NI similar to Advantage. Anyone else in one of these 32 hour a week positions that can offer feedback? Thanks. |

| I do, it's Kompass. I have a homestore,my local Kroger and I do all of their resets. I love it. I get a schedule 4 weeks at a time. Yes, you will report it on Natural insights. Good luck! |

| I was recently hired by acosta and am having a problem completing the new hire paperwork because I can't get into acosta university. Did anyone else have a problem getting into it?? I emailed AU but haven't received a reply from them nor from my supervisor. |

| You've probably already done this, but try different browsers. Seems like for me it worked better with some than others, but I can't remember which one. Also, make sure all pop-up blockers are turned off in case it's trying to launch as a separate window after login. Good luck! |

Hi all,
There is an opening for a Retail Merchandiser - Project in my area. Can someone please tell me what kind of jobs this Merchandiser is reponsible for and how the hourly pay is?
Thanks all!

| Just wanted to say beware of this company. I have been ASAP for 2 1/2 years, have a KOMPASS store, and wanted to become Acosta for the benefits. I went to take the drug test and had trouble giving a large enough sample. I was told to request a new order form and come back. I did this, did not hear from anyone for 4 days, only to be fired with no reason. I was simply told I do not meet company specifications. Just like that, all my work is re-assigned and I no longer have a job, just because I wanted benefits. My DM had nothing to say, he did not call me, I called him. BEWARE. I am not t he first. |
