Houston, TX

Former Employee – worked at American Automobile Association (AAA)

ProsThe Insurance Benefits are alright, but that seems to be all there is that is a Pro for this company.

ConsI could not recommend anyone working for this company.
Management cares nothing about the employees, stress is overwhelming.
Mico-management at it's finest.

Advice to Senior ManagementThere is no advise to give to management since it would do no good at all. It is there way or the highway. "Undercover Boss" might be a good suggestion for Mr. Darbelnet.

Dearborn, MI

Former Employee – worked at American Automobile Association (AAA)

ProsBenefits and generous time off.

ConsVery little diversity. It's an old-boy's network as far as upper management is concerned.

Advice to Senior ManagementHaving all of your diversity in your call centers does not constitute corporate diversity.

Erie, PA

Current Employee – been working at American Automobile Association (AAA)

Proshealth insurance it's the only thing that keeps me there

ConsIt is their policy to not give travel agents a raise no matter how long you work there, employees who do get the raise are given 15 to 25 cents per hour. Then they pay upper managment in the 6 figure brackett, and tell the frontline employee's that they can't have any more because they are a not for profit organization.

Advice to Senior ManagementStart treating your frontline employees the same way you treat each other

Houston, TX

Former Employee – worked at American Automobile Association (AAA)

ProsExcellent benefits, good pay, good work environment; most co-workers are great people. AAA is a well respected name, but it is not as well know as an insurance provider; more needs to be done to get the word out.

ConsThis is a great job if you can hang onto it. Seems terribly illogical to spend such enormous time & money training & licensing people from outside the industry only to have them give up before they really get started, or to let go of tenured agents who work hard to take care of the customers. Wasted resources!

Advice to Senior ManagementTake a look around at the agents in your company; do you really know who is supporting your business, and who is just in it for themselves and all they can get out of the job? Too many good, hardworking people who did good work, took good care of clients, and did not make trouble have come & gone. Maybe you need to consider calling some of them back.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
