Pros

“I also appreciate the customizable recognition programs that allow organizations to tailor their approaches to fit their unique values and goals.”
IG

Irene G.

Quality Assurance Analyst II

“I love the fact that Value Amazing is a companywide program that highlights allegiants core values so that we can recognize agents that embody what makes allegiant a great company to work for.”
JH

Joseph H.

Ground Operations Supervisor

“The navigation is a little tricky depending on how I access the recognize portal (recognize app, teams, paylocity), but once I'm in and browse through the platform its smooth sailing from there.”
AP

Angela P.

Property Manager

Pros

“I like that awardco allows me to use the points to buy anything in amazon and i can also purchase gift cards as well.”
SQ

Sandra Q.

Compliance Practitioner

“Users generally view it as a significant upgrade over traditional "gold watch" programs, primarily because it shifts recognition from a stiff HR process to a vibrant, social-media-style feed.”
AR

Arthi R.

Engineer

“I have used my card many times, the first purchase was declined and I had to call the company to find out that I needed to request a code and then log in with the special code for the first time use, even though I completed the card received process. since that first time, I have NOT had any issues even when in other states.”
CR

Carmen R.

Receptionist

Cons

“The rewards section is a little limited, we dont have many of the stores up here and i dont like shopping online.”
HW

Hillary W.

Customer Care Agent

“I don't have anything bad to say about it. Except for when I tried to redeem an e-gift card it was difficult to use online and at the store.”
KS

Kham S.

Consumer Lending Specialist

“To get gift cards, they do not like having to pay $3 additional.”
RR

Rogelio R.

Ops Manager

Cons

“One thing I dislike about Awardco is that not everyone uses the platform consistently, which can sometimes limit its impact. When participation varies, some employees may receive less recognition even though they are contributing just as much, making the experience feel uneven at times.”
RT

Rachel T.

Business Development Manager

“One downside of Awardco is that while the platform is generally user-friendly, some of the advanced features and reporting tools can take time to fully understand.”
As

“I don’t like that I have to end up converting my rewards on my laptop because with my iPhone it doesn’t work well with the site for some reason.”
