Hello, thank you for your review and your time at AIR MILES. I’m so glad to hear you experienced a fun, caring environment with us. You’ve left at a time of big change at AIR MILES – we are implementing a new strategic plan in 2022, and our Associates are deeply involved. Most recently, we embarked on a transformative journey to modernize our Travel business systems to create a best-in-class, digital-first experience with scalability for future growth and expansion. AIR MILES and its Associates are working towards achieving our shared vision of being Canada’s best Loyalty Program. We are also continuing to hire to ensure we have the talent and capability to drive our vision forward – we have many roles available on our Careers site. Thank you for your contribution! Sincerely, Dimitri Benak, VP of People and Culture

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

Pros

Good pay and yearly bonus along with decent health benefit.

Cons

The company does not listen to customers needs and wants . Agents hands are tied in how they resolve issues. Very outdated policy and processes.

Hello, Thank you for your review and for your contribution to AIR MILES over the years. It is wonderful to hear that you were with the organization for 20 years! During your time at AIR MILES, I am glad you felt supported with the pay and benefits you were provided.   The AIR MILES Reward Program has changed over the years, and the Customer Care team has been on the frontline of that change, with evolving systems and shifting policies to equip our Program for the future.   We are always looking for opportunities to make improvements to our Program and our culture. With the Customer Care team, we’ve created lanes for two-way dialogue and encouraged participation in sharing sessions with direct Managers and Senior Leaders. We have a group called Culture Ambassadors, who often act as a sounding board for frontline agents and represent the department at various corporate meetings. The weekly team Huddles keep our Ambassadors informed of industry news and business updates, with one of them a month focused on Mental Health. Also, we’ve created a podcast, which is posted in Slack, from the Customer Care VP to share her insights on wins and changes driven by Associate feedback – often reminding her team that – ‘your voice and your influence drive meaningful change.’  I’m proud that our Customer Care team is an award-winning group of Associates, taking home awards for, leadership, Associate innovation, and Contact Centre excellence. We are truly grateful for the time you spent here as a Customer Care Ambassador for the AIR MILES Reward Program, hopefully you feel heard in this response, and please know that I wish you all the best on your future endeavours. Thank you, Dimitri Benak, VP of People and Culture
