Pros

Great Benefits Great Wages Great Co-workers

Cons

Takes years before getting a steady day shift. Started with a good amount of hours only to end up with 1 shift a week. Not enough training for new employees. Not enough time to feel comfortable with providing information before they place strict expectations on you. Very robotic and you are glued to the desk. Everything is timed. Not as concerned with delivering proper customer service more concerned with meeting average handling times. They don’t care if a call is out of your control when it takes too long because you are helping someone with a web call who is elderly and have little computer experience the stats still affect your key performance indicators. Every time you go to the bathroom you are timed, breaks and lunch timed etc. You have to work under constant pressure. Told what you can and can’t say on calls. Too much control.

Pros

• Hybrid model (3 days working from home)

Cons

• Heavy workload • Low salary • Lack of recognition, no rewards and a general feeling of not being valued • Compensation is limited to base salary only, with no bonus, annual increases are around 2% even when expectations are met, which does not keep pace with inflation • Limited or no growth opportunities

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for your contributions to GreenShield over the past several years. We’re pleased to hear the hybrid work model has been a positive part of your experience, and we remain committed to offering flexibility that supports both our employees and the needs of our business. As GreenShield continues to grow, the pace and complexity of work have increased across many areas. This is a deliberate part of scaling the organization and delivering on our commitments. We actively manage this through prioritization, team-level planning and ongoing support. We also want to provide important context on several of the points raised. GreenShield regularly benchmarks compensation against the market and individual performance to ensure it remains competitive. Our total rewards approach extends beyond base salary and includes development investment, benefits and recognition programs. On recognition, we do not align with the view that recognition is absent. In addition to formal programs like Applause, which enables real-time peer recognition and rewards, leaders are expected to actively acknowledge contributions and support their teams. These expectations are clear and embedded within our leadership accountabilities. Similarly, opportunities for growth and development are a core part of the employee experience. Employees have access to structured development planning, leadership programs and an annual $2,000 learning allowance, supported by regular check-ins to support career progression. Suggesting there are limited or no opportunities for growth does not reflect the range of development pathways available across the organization. While individual perspectives on workload, compensation and growth may vary, many employees continue to build long-term careers and take on new opportunities at GreenShield as the organization evolves. We appreciate you taking the time to share your perspective.
