Pros

Work from home facility (though there is no work) Cab Facility Free meal Good for people who are planning there retirement Hard to think of any work related pros

Cons

No quality work or rather no work at all. No work and training on latest technologies. Employee becomes lazy and loose there skill set here. Lots of politics and no transparency at all. If you show some interest in other project, you will not be heard at all. Favouritism exist at all levels. Level of politics is even higher in AOS department (support). Being an IT professional, work is definitely not meant for us. They should better hire diploma or bsc students. Apart from work compensation is not at all good, poor year end appraisals. I don't know why people said that its a good pay-master. What i found it used to be earlier but now company is hit by a huge financial crisis. About parties which other people claims, even that has seen a steep downfall graph. NOTE : NEVER EVER JOIN THIS COMPANY AS A FRESHER OR 1-3 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE, OTHERWISE YOU WILL OR THEY WILL RUIN YOUR CAREER.

Pros

Pay is mainly through commissions and bonuses and there's no restrictions to the amount of compensation (unlike salary). We can write off our expenses and results to lower income tax. Sunlife is the most trusted brand due to its stability. The Sunlife financial advisor role really provides career security as it is in demand regardless of our economic status.

Cons

Will have to invest lots of hours initially to establish strong foundation for the career
