Pros

Nothing good, run for the hills

Cons

Over 60 calls per day Bad management on all levels HR is no help Slave labor The whole program is a scam and not even the head of the company believes in his own product For a company that advertises its self of travel, nothing they offer is a good deal. Best they can do is trick you into getting a credit card for some supposed deals

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience working with us! We are proud that the AIR MILES Reward Program is one of Canada’s most recognized loyalty programs in the travel industry– we have recently been awarded for building a best-in-class travel experience by being a repeat winner at the 7th Annual Agency Elite Awards by Delta Airlines, Air France, and KLM. We strive everyday to make the program more accessible and flexible for our Collectors. One of the ways we have done just that is by lowering the amount of Air Miles needed each year to achieve the AIR MILES Gold or Onyx status, making it easier for our Collectors to reach these higher level tiers so they can redeem rewards faster and more frequently. Our Frontline Ambassadors within our Customer Care team are essential in directly driving the value of the program and we are grateful for the time you’ve worked with us! We recognize that being a part of our Customer Care team can sometimes be demanding and may come with high pressure, however, we’ve recently introduced multiple channels (Chat, social media and Chatbot) for Collectors to contact us and resolve issues beyond phone support alone. We will continue to seek new ways to improve the experience both for our Ambassadors, as well as our Collectors. Thanks again for your feedback. Dimitri Benak - VP, Culture and People

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.
