Treat employees better and reward them with something that really matters - promotions, money, upward mobility. Keep the job adequately staffed, so there is less turnover and employees can do their job well - and not feel like they have to half do everything to stay afloat.

Sales meetings for best practices, training and communicating procedure and technical updates. Better training for middle management.

Put in a gym or little exercise areas

Pros

Worked Graveyard Shift, wonderful management. Really teach you the ins and out and they want you to succeed at your job. Easy to move up as well.

Pros

Very stable company, believe in promoting from within (almost a must), many internal training opportunities. Promotions happen faster if you are mobile.

Advice to Management

Let managers manage. Ease up on expectations of front line staff or increase salary. Don't be afraid to try something new. One size does not fit all. Let go of non-productive staff - at all levels.

Pros

Auto Club is a great company to work for, over the years that I've worked there; many changes have occurred to enhance employee recognition. There's a new CEO, and I believe the company is now moving in the right direction. The former CEO, in my opinion, could care less about the employees.

Pros

The culture is to take care of the members and employees are recognized for performance.

Advice to Management

Increase compensation for your staff and reward your top performers with better bonuses (variable pay). Other employers pay 2-3 times in bonuses what the Auto Club does.

Pros

Top Earners can make up to $200k and up.

Advice to Management

Wouldn't matter, because they don't listen, this topic of advice to them is nay-say. It's do as we tell you or else the door is wide open. Just a number instead of an employee.

Pros

I have old-school work ethic, I come to work to do the job I was hired (and am paid) to do. I dont expect a free coffee every day, I dont expect to roll in and out of the office whenever I want. I expect that if I get hired for a position like "sales" that the expectation placed upon me is that I actually "sell". I dont expect the company to cater to my every wish and demand or let me work from home because it's more convenient for me. I do expect to get paid for the work I do. I do expect trust, honesty and integrity. My experience is that you get back what you put in. Hard work is recognized and rewarded. The benefits plan is great, including a pension plan that is unheard of in the workplace anymore. The company has been refocusing efforts lately with a bigger focus on activities and events to help break up the monotony of the day. The training available is wonderful, but you have to be a proactive employee and look into it.

Advice to Management

Explain the "why?" of the business more often. Employees today are interested in doing a "good" job, but if you enrich them with the knowledge of how they individually contribute to the company success, fill them with the pride of working for a company with over a century of history- they have the potential to do a "GREAT" job.
