Pros
The brand is something I am very proud of. I am one of those long term employees with nearly 35 years. I have seen this company excel and I have watched it tumble with the president just before Mr Pouliot and with Mr Pouliot. I wish I could also say it was working in California, but that seems to be short lived for more and more of our staff as we makes deals with our AAA clubs and sell our sole to them.
Cons
I am a manager and are expected to be available nearly all the time. They talk about taking PTO and a work life balance - it is just that, talk. We continue to move key customer facing positions outside California and wonder why our members are not satisfied. They restructured our defined benefits pension in 2008 that has cost me 6 figures at least when I retire. Many newer employees point to the older folks and say we ar ethe problem, I could not disagree more and folks need to get past this way of thinking.
