Toxic place to work
MSS (Employé actuel) – Ottawa, ON – 2 mars 2019
If you have a choice go somewhere else to work.
Upper management is horrible and all the directors
Are out of touch and are big bank rejects.
Hard work is not rewarded and if you try and voice your concerns you are deemed a trouble maker and black balled.
Alterna received an award from AON because the CEO use to work there, what a joke.
good luck if you accept a position here

NOT an ideal work environment
Member Service Specialist (Ancien employé) – Toronto, ON – 16 janvier 2019
This company is very behind when it comes to banking. The employees and management are also not up to date with pleasant work culture or work and life balance. The contact center employees are beyond overworked since they are to deal with all customer inquiries (no transferring). The training for the contact center role is not long enough for what you are expected to know and apply on the calls. It is the most stressful customer service role, with little compensation.
Would not recommend
VP of Marketing (Employé actuel) – Toronto, ON – 8 janvier 2019
In my opinion and experience I would not recommend this company as senior managers often fire hardworking employees without reason. There is no alignment at the senior level, often middle level employees are going around in circles because senior management cannot agree on a project or strategy. Technology is in need of massive updating. Marketing & Product team has had 4 VP's in the last 4 years. All prior VP's have quit or have been fired.
Points positifs
free coffee
Points négatifs
poor management, work/life balance, lack of balance, poor company culture
Top employer award winning company
Retail (Employé actuel) – GTA – 19 décembre 2018
I have been an Alterna employee for several years and find these negative reviews to be nothing more than sour grapes from disgruntled former employees. That's the problem with sites like this. Alterna won an AON top employer award this year which comes as a result of feedback provided by the employees. We had nearly 100% of our employees take the survey so what does that tell you? We all enjoy working for Alterna
Alterna compensates us very fairly but we have the very best benefits out there. This too comes from my past experience with other FI's. Our benefits are way above industry standard.
We have a very progressive CEO who works tirelessly on making sure Alterna is not only a great place to bank but a great place to work. He values employee engagement as much as he values member engagement.
If you are looking to work for a company that pays fairly, treats its employees well and you want the opportunity to advance in your career look no further.
Don't read too much into the negative Nellie's comments. We are an award winning company and that certainly doesn't come from unhappy employees.

Great place to work
Business Development Credit Officer (Employé actuel) – Ottawa, ON – 25 juin 2018
Underwrite new mortgages to approve, review documents and instruct to lawyers. I am able to learn all the new mortgage rules and keep learning any of the updates.
Hardest part of the job is management and process in current position.
Best part is the interaction with fellow colleagues, building relationships with third parties.
I truly enjoy what I do but ready to share my knowledge with other teams and understand more about the business.

Great environment
Member Service Associate (Employé actuel) – Ottawa, ON – 17 décembre 2017
Great company that offers great benefits for full time workers. Very nice managers and staff that make it very comfortable working there. A little pressure to reach sales targets but if you are a high sales driven worker this is a great place for you to strive in
The worse company I have worked for!
Manager (Ancien employé) – Toronto, ON – 20 novembre 2017
Horrible work environment and culture. Hard work and results are punished instead of rewarded. Directors and Managers are conniving and will fire employees for the smallest infraction. There is not enough negative words to say about this 'wannabe' Bank it;s just not not a good place to work.
Points positifs
Benefits are good
Points négatifs
Low salary
Productive workplace
MEMBER SERVICE OFFICER (Ancien employé) – Ottawa, ON – 17 juillet 2017
Great benefits, health and dental. Environment is more oriented toward helping clients instead of just making sales. Makes you feel like you are part of a good cause

Rewarding volunteer opportunities
Volunteer (Employé actuel) – Ottawa, ON – 31 mai 2017
Alterna Savings Crackup is a comedy festival run by volunteers who work to bring attention to the need for increased access to mental health services in Ottawa. If you'd like to work with some of Canada's biggest names in Comedy - this is a great organization to dedicate some time to!
productive place to work with chance to move up
Member Service Representative (Employé actuel) – Ottawa, ON – 22 février 2017
I've learned a lot about investments and how banking works. My branch manager is extremely helpful and always has time for me when I have questions regarding career growth. He knows it is my goal to work in marketing and so I have become the branch marketing rep.
Productive company
Deposit Services Representative (Ancien employé) – Toronto, ON – 16 octobre 2016
A typical work day was to complete all daily tasks before days end and try to have fun while doing so. I made a lot of fabulous relationships with both co-workers and members.
Terrible employer and culture
Anonymous (Ancien employé) – Ottawa, ON – 19 août 2016
Opportunities to advance are limited at best. Horrible work culture. Training and support is non-existent. Management is all over the place. Hard work is punished instead of rewarded. Can't say enough bad stuff, this is not a good place to work.
Points positifs
Benefits were good.
Points négatifs
Low pay. No opportunity. Schizo management.
