Pros

Great place to work for 9-5 Monday through Friday and some Saturdays. Benefits at any job are a plus and I must say they do take care of you in the benefits department. PTO is a definite plus and most managers are very flexible with your time off requests and schedules. Company puts the member first which is great for retaining old business. Hourly rate is a plus but after taxes and benefits it hurts a little.

Cons

Commission bonus set up makes it beyond difficult to earn bonuses beyond your hourly. It seems designed to earn the company more money and give you less. Goals are spread throughout every job title but some of the goals and items you are required to have to sell have little to no relevance to your job position. Member satisfaction is crucial and influential over your standing in the eyes of the company; if the member is not happy with your interaction or any interaction, even if you were not directly involved (if your name is on that survey), that interaction and survey will hurt your overall goal score. Company says they would like new business from a younger generation, however, they are not making a valid effort to allow employees to use social networking to promote events or special promotions.

Pros

Opportunities to travel Good training and education Good coworkers and clientele

Cons

Low hourly rate with promises of monthly bonuses which were impossible goals to meet Frequently understaffed with constant interuptions from time wasting calls and walkins making workload unmanageable and not allowed to stay late or take work home Never closing for even a foot of snow Too many mandatory trainings and after hours and weekend client travel events to host Very stressful and disheartening managing. Personally was frequently listed as top 10 sale of the week for whole AAA club Alliance, built a high end repeat clientele booking 20-50k trips with preferred vendors but still wasn't enough to ever qualify for the bonus. More praise and bonuses given to employees who signed more people up for an AAA visa. In 30 years as a travel agent I never had that volume of sales but I was making $18.50/hr. Less money than 20 years previous and got $1.50 total raise after 6 years. Stayed longer than I should've because of awesome appreciative clientele that AAA makes impossible to take with you thanks to signing them all up with AAA CCs which got them $1000s in vouchers to apply.
