      Pros

      Vacation, Benefits Package, Pension Plan, the occasional genuine and great coworker

      Cons

      I have worked for a number of different departments at this company and you will find almost every area has incompetent manager(s) running the show. They micromanage but those in charge have little idea how the work is really done - they only care about the stats and that their employees below them make them look good to upper management. The HR department won't help you at all - I have dealt with sexism and harassment - they will make it feel like it is your fault and consider the matter over as soon as you have filed your complaint. Managers and team leads are promoted within by their friends, hardly any possess management skills or interpersonal skills. It is very political, very cliquey, very stressful and overwhelming environment to be in. If you are a free thinking individual - this place is not for you. Stay away from this place if you like your sanity. I went in with a positive attitude hoping to achieve a rewarding, stimulating career but it is the exact opposite now.

      Not perfect, but close…

      Pros

      I have worked for other large (even bigger than Sun Life) Fortune 100 insurance and financial companies, and none of the companies have benefit packages close to what Sun Life offers. Employee benefits is SOLELY their business in the U.S., so it's no surprise the superior benefits that are offered. For those who claim salaries are not competitive; you get what you negotiate. I worked for a company praised for "competitive" salaries, and I make 25% more at Sun Life.

      Cons

      The U.S. headquarters is not a fancy building. To be named as the U.S. headquarters, I expected a top-notch facility.
