I was sent an email and a text. I replied. Then received a phone call shortly after. I am waiting for the support team to call me back and give me instructions to set up my paycheck.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Acosta
HR reached out to schedule and interview, I scheduled it and then I never received a called. I emailed called and left voicemails but never heard back. Reached out over LinkedIn and set another appointment and she ghosted me again. I still see the job posting for this position open and still have yet to hear back. Very disappointing.
- When’s a good time to set an interview?

Recruiter reached out to setup an interview and confirmed the interview time and date. Recruiter never called at the interview time, didn’t answer my phone call, or respond to my email. Super unprofessional.
- When would you like to arrange an interview?

Anonymous Interview Candidate
I interviewed at Acosta
El personal muy prepotente, mal encarados, hacen la entrevista de mala gana. Al inicio aseguraban que no había ningún lugar para ofrecer, me pidieron nivel de idioma inglés y manejo de paquetería
- Experiencia laboral Grado de estudios

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Columbus, OH
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Acosta (Columbus, OH)
Recruiter texted me for some available days and times. On the agreed day no call. I texted, called, and emailed and no response. I guess 15 years grocery experience in analytics wasn't good enough. This happened for another position before as well. This company needs to respect candidates and their time.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Chicago, IL
I applied online. I interviewed at Acosta (Chicago, IL)
(tl; dr: ghosted by recruiter after she invited me for a phone interview, which never happened). I applied online. The recruiter emailed me within a day asking for my availability for a phone screen. I replied that day with several time slots for the next few business days. A day went by with no response, so I followed up. Still no response. Then she called me out of the blue on a Friday and I missed the call because I was headed into the meeting. She left no phone number to call her back. I called the number she had called from and got an anonymous voicemail box, left a message. Haven't heard back. I have attempted to respond to the original email one more time and have still heard nothing. The original email asking for my availability was 8 days ago. Not impressed.

Anonymous Employee in Dallas, TX
I applied online. I interviewed at Acosta (Dallas, TX) in Feb 2022
Answered questions with a computerized chat. Set up virtual interview, it gave multiple times and dates to pick. Got an email and text with details about the call and who would be interviewing me. The virtual interview was with the main interviewer and the area manager for my location. Very friendly and easy going.
- Best and worst quality about yourself.

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Norfolk, VA
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Acosta (Norfolk, VA) in Feb 2022
The interview process was very conversational and professional. I felt comfortable and totally myself the entire time. I interviewed with a Sr. Manager of Operations, a Business Manager and the VP of Operations.
- If we called your current manager/supervisor right now, how would they describe you in their words based on their experience working with you?
