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

GreenShield is one of the few organizations where purpose genuinely drives decision-making. The mission of improving health outcomes and advancing Better Health for All is woven into the culture, not simply used in marketing materials. The people are highly collaborative, values-driven, and committed to making a meaningful impact on Canadians' health and well-being. Leadership encourages innovation, continuous learning, and employee growth while fostering an environment where diverse perspectives are welcomed. One of GreenShield’s greatest strengths is its People and Culture team. The HR function operates as a true strategic partner to the business while maintaining a deep commitment to employee experience and well-being. The team is progressive, caring, and focused on creating an environment where people can do their best work. From leadership development and talent programs to wellness initiatives and culture-building efforts, the People and Culture team consistently demonstrates what modern, purpose-driven HR should look like. The organization is also undergoing an exciting transformation, creating opportunities to shape strategy, influence change, and contribute to work that has a measurable social impact. Employees are encouraged to give back to their communities, and there is a strong emphasis on wellness, flexibility, and supporting the whole person.

Cons

As with any organization navigating significant growth and transformation, priorities can evolve quickly, which can occasionally create ambiguity or require teams to adapt at a rapid pace.
