Pros

Very good pay and benefits

Cons

Where to start... This is the only company that strives to make money off a call centre...focus is on saving costs rather than servicing clients You are constantly lying to people because your hands are tied as to what you can or can't do The Air Miles program is the most restrictive, confusing and antiquated loyalty program and your whole day is spent explaining upper management's ass-backward decisions and changes Call after call after call because they don't staff properly and blow service levels then blame it on you for exceeding call times! Predatory managers and team leaders whose sole function seems to be painting targets on people's backs and making sure they fail Unrealistic sales targets with little to no support Very little camaraderie with fellow employees because most work from home Dreary call centre in Mississauga which looks more like a Costco warehouse than an office Advancement opportunities exist but people are being constantly shifted around into other positions or back to their original one Archaic systems - you can't even pull up the company website on your computer! Slow desktops even though the hardware is modern Upper management only cares about the parent company's stock price I could go on and on

Pros

Good benefits Great co-workers Fully remote Lots of fun employee events - got to meet a lot of cool folks at the company through it

Cons

Lots of different roles within the chain of command so different objectives are being passed down Sometimes hard to feel if you're making a difference

Thank you for the positive feedback. Our Associates are at the heart of our strong company culture and are truly what makes AIR MILES such a great place to work! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the benefits and events offered to our Associates, as well as our remote-first working model. We appreciate your perspective on feeling as though your work makes a difference. We strongly believe that our people are our greatest asset and that the work done at all levels of the organization contributes to our success as a business. During our January Business Update, our Executive team shared our Strategic Imperatives for 2023 and the ways we will continue to scale as an organization to help Associates under the "big picture" and where their role fits in. We also recently introduced a new Goal Setting process to better align with our quarterly planning process, and to encourage more regular conversations about goals between Leaders and Associates. For Associates with questions regarding the impact of their role, we encourage you to speak to your leader or Manager Once Removed for guidance. Thanks again for your feedback, and all the best.
