Pros

Expanding their branding ( a lot of household recognition). Gave a number of perks/promotions to increase productivity.

Cons

An unnecessarily complex commission structure and seemed to hire sales managers without any management experience/qualifications. Equated sales prowess with being a good manager.

Pros

Sun Life provides competitive benefits, remote work opportunities, and the chance to work alongside knowledgeable professionals. The company offers strong learning opportunities within the disability and leave management space.

Cons

Staffing reductions and increasing workloads have made it difficult for some teams to maintain service levels while preserving employee well-being. Leadership communication and support can vary by department.
