      Strong benefits but challenging work environment

      Anonymous employee
      Current employee
      Waterloo, ON
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Sun Life offers solid benefits, including a reliable yearly bonus and generous paid time off. These perks help offset some of the pressures of the role and demonstrate that the company does invest in employee compensation in certain areas

      Cons

      Frequently dealing with unequal workload, management's lack of accountability for others, worker's lack of accountability from themselves, constant changes to roles or workspace, and little transparency about the future of the department. Feeling like your hard work and effort is being punished instead of recognized and supported can be especially demoralizing. • Strong performers get the worst workloads and workspaces • Problematic employees get left alone to avoid confrontation while others are forced to simply absorb the dysfunction • Hard workers end up training others while lacking support or the tools required • Very difficult to learn new skills to advance career as information is gatekept, while career advancement and goal setting is recommended • Reshuffling seating and roles frequently to hide uncertainty about restructuring • Less compensation than comparative roles in the industry
