What are perks and other benefits like at Sun Life?

Work-Life Balance: Sun Life generally provides good work-life balance. Flexibility with remote work and reasonable hours is a positive aspect of working there. Opportunities for Professional Growth (If You Seek Them Out): While not always structured, there are chances to learn new things if you’re proactive. Some areas encourage certifications and development, but it depends on your team. Good Benefits Package: The benefits, including health insurance and vacation policies, are competitive and generally supportive of employees' personal needs.

Lack of Direction & Leadership: Leadership prioritizes politics over strategy. Teams compete instead of collaborating, creating confusion and inefficiency. Toxic Culture & Resistance to Change: Internal politics, egos, and resistance from long-term employees make meaningful change difficult. Gender Diversity Issues: Women in leadership are underrepresented, and problematic behavior toward women has been overlooked.

Good work life balance, decent benefits, good investment matching.

Limited autonomy, micromanagement, false sense of urgency for projects that people barely use beyond quarterly review.

It's a perfect company to work for. There are a lot of benefits and perks.

the workload is taking it's toll to a lot of employees. although all are willing to share their time and effort to help reduce backlogs (due to unforeseen events). new FTE's should be given to each department that needs a hand.

Good benefits, PTO and room for growth.

Alternating shifts and constant change in management.

Generous employee benefits including hybrid work and a sabbatical program.

Company culture is good Good company to work for

Many advisors are incompetent or dishonest and Sun Life doesn't seem bothered with it as long as they are making money Sun Life has no control over how advisors treat or compensate their staff so unless you are a sun life advisor yourself, you could end up being paid WELL below industry standard with no benefits. Sun Life doesn't care. There is not really an HR department so if you have an issue with your boss - too bad. Training is a joke and minimal at best Head office is terrible. You never get a consistent answer. You can deal with repeated issues for weeks or months because no one takes responsibility. You can expect to waste half your time following up trying to get other people to do their jobs There isn't much room for growth on the admin side unless you want to get licensed which just means the advisor gives you more of their work for minimally more money
