Pros

WFH : it was nice to be able to work from home Air Miles rewards: employees get Air miles every now & then Benefits: good benefits & wellness sub Nice office: back in the days it was nice to go to the office

Cons

Toxic work environment, I got back from Mat leave was not introduced to the team during my first meeting with them ! like if I don't exist. team members are so scared to share their ideas and opinions !! excessive monitoring! they listen to your interactions with the clients ALL the time, even when you do an excellent job and the customer is happy with your service, they are still not satisfied & incompetent leaders will find something to criticize !! the calls volume is insane! NON STOP and only 4 or 5 seconds between calls !!! I decided to quit because a team leader asked me what was I doing in 90 seconds after a call ! that is a rock bottom of a career, in my opinion, it shows that they don't care about your mental health when they know very well how hard dealing with their clients is !! I recommend for starters, entry-level for a few months to get some experience then get the hell out of there .... especially bilinguals

Hello, I am glad that you liked the flexibility of working from home and the perks and benefits that come with working with AIR MILES. We’re also proud of those benefits, wellness subsidies, Anniversary Milestones, as well as our Recognition Platform, Pass It On – where Associates can share Miles with peers as a ‘thank you’ for doing a great job. We encourage a culture that is safe and inclusive and for all Associates to share their ideas, opinions, and feedback. I am sorry that you experienced situations where this was not the case. Also, calls are often monitored to provide Associates with coaching, training, and feedback to help them provide Collectors with a positive and helpful experience when they call us with questions. One of our values is that we own our successes and our misses. I would encourage any Associate that has feedback and would like to see things done differently to speak with their Leader about it. We also have regular surveys in place to enable Associates to share their feedback about what’s working, what’s not, and to drive change. We also prioritize the mental health of our Associates. All our Associates have access to the entire Headspace library, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy via BEACON and our health and wellness benefits. As well, all Frontline Care Agents can work from home permanently which helps to prioritize their health and wellness. Wishing you all the best in your future career and thank you for your contributions to the AIR MILES Reward Program. Sincerely, Dimitri Benak, VP of People and Culture

Executives and Associates are working together to make AIR MILES a leading-edge, digitally savvy company and we’re well on our way to achieving our shared vision of being Canada’s best loyalty program.

Pros

Awesome work from home program Great Co workers Training

Cons

Customer care leaders and coaches are assorted quality. Extremely Stressful environment, job performance is partly based on what your collectors say about you which wait times, airline policy etc are all beyond your control. The surveys are a waste of money since we are monitored to death. Big divide between treatment of corporate and call centre. (they get free snacks, catered events etc.) Wages are low, uncertainty about future because of SLT shakeup and the rumours of selling airmiles Technology is outdated

Thanks for taking time to share your point of view. We too are proud of the great talent at AIR MILES. Our Work from Home program for our Care Associates allows for many benefits including increased work-life balance, time with family, comfort of working in your own space, as well as positive impacts to the environment. I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I appreciate that you value the training that we offer at AIR MILES. Our commitment and approach to training focuses on courses that help Associates enhance their capabilities to maximize performance as individuals, within their teams and to support the overall growth of the business. We invest in our learning and career development platforms to give our associates the tools they need to succeed. In reading over your list of cons and advice to management, let me first start off by thanking you for providing this insight. I understand that the environment is sometimes stressful, especially this year due to unforeseen circumstances resulting from COVID-19. Creating a world class experience for our Collectors is important for us and we are proud to be recognized in the top 5% of call centres in Canada for this reason. With respect to the surveys we send out several times a year, we do this to better understand what’s working well and areas to affect positive change. We take the time to listen and put feedback into motion. We believe celebrating our Associates is essential to our business. Based on roles, location and logistics how we celebrate may look different but nonetheless we find ways to celebrate wins, milestones or ‘just for fun’ and we take a lot of pride in giving you something to brag about, like the flexibility our Call Centre has to work from home 100% of the time. I know that change can cause uncertainty and last year was a big year for our company where we made critical changes to our business. With these changes, however, we are better positioned to deliver on our goals of enhancing our technical capabilities and improving our Collector experience to drive our mission of Rewarding Canadians Every Day. We are excited about the direction we are heading in, and for what’s to come. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback. Thank you for all that you do. Dimitri Benak VP, People and Culture
