Pros

The company has a lot of potential. They have several structures in place for growth, training, and expansion. They have a well established and highly recognizable brand that gives them a leg up on any possible competition.

Cons

The company over all is lopsided and scattered. The positive work environment can rarely be found outside of the company headquarters. For those working below the higher portion of the company chain in a retail/ car care environment, the morale is unbelievably low. There have been several changes and expansion to the job requirements that often come first, without warning, second, without any sort of recognition. Sales goals often come with an unrealistic expectation that everyone can be sold, often at the expense of customer service. Goals aren't adjusted in the consideration of the extra job duties that take associates away from opportunity. Micromanaging has steadily increased in the retail offices with managers leading from reports, not from a place of actual talent/ conflict management. Leading from the front is more important than leading from the paper. "You guys look miserable!" - Not something you want to hear from a member. If they can see it, they will feel it.

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.
