- 4.0Sep 30, 2023Client Services SpecialistFormer Employee, less than 1 yearDallas, TX
Pros
The benefits, company culture, and most coworkers are nice and helpful. My direct managers seemed to actually care about the employees, their success and well-being.
Cons
This position is a call center position. That may be for some people but it wasn't for me at all, I was miserable. I found myself working after hours (without pay) to finish up what I wasn't able to in-between calls. As mentioned, management does care, but they have a job to watch our performance. And performance = limit time off the phones to do after call work. Seems that's all they care about, because that's what THEIR higher ups are watching for from them... I hated the lack of time to do good work for the clients. It seemed like quantity over quality, and that's just not me.

I have an interview with Lockton today for Stop Loss Underwriting. I am planning on disclosing my disability but part of me doesn't want to so I can solidify this position. Then again my disability affects how I process information everyday so I guess honesty is best. How is the disability culture at lockton? Are they compassionate and forgiving? Had a horrible experience at Sun Life so I don't have much trust in other insurance companies when it comes to disability rights. I'm very nervous.

Good luck, you are braver than I am. Personally, I would not disclose until I had the job, and then only to the forms to fill out. Then, if I really needed to, I would disclose to my direct manager. I did not consider myself as disabled until I had already been with my current company for a while. I "came out" to my manager/s, but it's still feeling weird to me.

Where is this from?
Anyone here work for Sun Life? I am trying to find the salary for a Senior Specialist in Integrated Absence and STD. I have searched and found very little. I have found similar titles but the salary posted varies anywhere from 55-100,000. TIA!
Where is this from?
That’s actually probably the range. I’m an AVP at Sun Life and managers on my team, the salary range is like 65-117k so the range you found is probably right. Will depend on experience.

Anyone have good insight into the company/culture for: Sun Life Financial, Silver Point Capital, and EQT Partners?

I've heard positive things about Sun Life Financial in terms of benefits and company culture. Don't know too much about the other two though. Best of luck!

I want to know this as well. I put in an application last week. I'm still not sure what the WFH policies are. The say the PTO is really good though, but the office is a little far from me.
