Pros

nice office, good hours and decent perks

Cons

lower than average pay (especially for internal employees) and each person has to fend for themselves, if you get stuck with a bad manager your only option is to stay unhappy or leave the company. the organization values external talent more than internal which is a shame for anyone thinking they could develop their career at the company. poor leadership in client services (especially since a reorg). although framed as a 'diverse company'.... take a look at the senior leadership team.

Thanks for the feedback. We too love our downtown office and invested a lot of time, input and love in order to make it a space where our Associates feel comfortable and inspired. To help our Associates feel a similar comfort in their work from home routines due to the current pandemic, we have offered a Home Office Subsidy to purchase items to help them settle into their new workspaces. In regards to your comment on pay, market data helps us ensure that our salary ranges remain competitive and our Total Rewards team reviews market changes regularly and updates our salary ranges as necessary to keep us competitive. In addition to salary we offer many other perks, rewards and recognition to elevate the Associate experience. I’m perplexed to hear that you feel internal talent isn’t valued. We know our success ultimately depends on the real drivers of our performance – our Associates. We place a strong focus on Associate development and provide them with the training they need not only for their current role, but also to help them achieve the next step in their career. In fact, so far this year, 52% of our vacancies have been filled by internal transfers and promotions. That’s something we’re proud of. Diversity is at the heart of our Company’s culture, but I acknowledge we have a lot of work to do. We are taking steps to actively drive change, including reviewing our current policies, ramping up mandatory training and assessing our recruitment practices. AIR MILES is committed to supporting an environment where we embrace and celebrate our differences. Thank you again for your feedback. I wish you all the best. Dimitri Benak VP, Talent and Workplace Experience

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.
