Pros
- District Office Jobs are the best & Most Secure positions in the company. - Been in Business for 100 years. - Visions & Values Culture is a good idea in principal. - The people who work here are top notch & friendly. - Free AAA Membership, 10% off Auto & Home Insurance as an employee. - A relaxed environment to work in. - Starting Pay Is Usually Near Or Above Market Rate (if you know how to negotiate). - Low-Level Management Is In the Trenches with you. - An Internal Website allows all employees to voice their opinions on matters without retaliation.
Cons
- Senior Management has zero direction 98% of the time - The 2% of the time Senior Management has a direction, they will not relinquish that direction even if that direction is a money pit (For Example: Memberpoint & Clientview) - Career Advancement is non-existent for at least 99% of employees. - When someone from the 1% finds career advancement it is due to obvious favoritism. People are handpicked for positions IF they want someone from inside the company. - At Least 75% of the time, hiring takes place with people coming in from outside of the company. There is zero push from management to recruit from within & the tools provided to advance yourself are laughable at best. - AAA University sounds good on paper, but what you really have are a bunch of "classes" that are useless to every company except CSAA. - Visions & Values (Our Corporate Ethics/Motto) isn't practiced beyond Low-Level Management. Employees are even evaluated based on these very subjective terms & it directly effects a person's pay raise. - Speaking of Visions & Values, Senior Management quietly removed the value "We will treat each Employee As We Would A Member." - Senior Management isn't held accountable for their over expenditures & will merely cuts jobs to cover up their reckless spending on projects that fail during testing. - CSAA will happy roll out a buggy platform, that received zero improvements or fixes in testing, to the masses. No matter how big the crowd of employees are that tell them the system doesn't work, Senior Management will believe they are doing the right thing in "rolling the program out." - Will happily acknowledge that you are indispensable while treating you as if you are.
