Thanks for the review and for your contribution to the company for over five years. Our Associates certainly are kind and considerate – I’m so glad that was your experience as well and that you also enjoyed our work-life balance, annual performance bonus and other benefits. We take pride in offering these to our Associates. I’m sorry you feel the way you do about career development at AIR MILES. Developing our talent and providing opportunity for growth is important to us. We place a huge emphasis on internal development and always look to hire from within whenever possible. Last year we filled 60% of our positions with internal hires and promotions in an effort to help Associates advance their careers- a metric we’re really proud of. We also have a couple of important programs in place where Leaders carve out time dedicated toward performance and development conversations with their team such as 1-in-90s and Manager Once Removed conversations. Indeed, AIR MILES is going through profound change. We have a new executive team, strategy and overall structure and while these changes can be unsettling, I’m personally excited to see where they will take us and hope that our Associates are too. We’re embarking on a new chapter in the AIR MILES story but will always hold true to our values of accountability, transparency, collaboration and trust. I wish you all the best.

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.
