Business outlook
Pros
Benefits were great but are slowly being taken away. Great front line customer service staff.
Cons
No clear vision for customer service needs. The drive for profit margins over customer care continues to drive CSAA in the wrong direction. The need is being driven by the fact that CSAA and its partner holding company ACA need more clubs to join so that the expense of our recent It and Call centers can be spread across these other clubs. They are trying to leverage buying power like Wallmart also and this will only weaken them as a whole. Our club was great because we were able to focus on our customer without being high profit driven. When we grew in size we lost this edge and other were able to exploit our weakness and move in.
