Pros

A lot of opportunity to learn about every part of the business. There are opportunities to volunteer with different departments during their peak season or shadow someone in a position you are interested in. The business has been successful for 150 years and the reason is clear!

Cons

Hard to move up in the company. It is easy to move from department to department, but it's more difficult to start as entry-level and move up

Pros

I had an easy going team, but worked with a very difficult and demanding internal client. The IT infrastructure is great at Sun Life.

Cons

Didn't get support from senior management on some important issues, resulting in a very difficult working relationship with my client.
