Pros

Smart driven colleagues Nice work environment (new build)

Cons

Management consists of many old folks clubbers - they have been there 20-35 years and tehy want you to know it. They have fortified to protect each other. Bad unprofessional behviour by male colleagues who intimidate female colleagues (who they do not want to work with) - and the behaviour is protected by managers who have friendships with these males. An old boys club for sure although they profess to including women. But all women in high positions are tenured (20-30 years) and do not want younger females displacing them.

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.
