      Fantastic company and people!

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Wonderful company and people, very supportive. I enjoyed my time at Sun Life very much, it was a fun place to work. The local management really made it feel like you are part of a team, not working on your own. Even being in a sales position, everyone, including other Advisors, were very supportive in helping you grow your business.

      Cons

      Working on commission only was the hard part, it would have been nice to receive a small salary to keep you going when sales were slow.

      Collaborative work environment

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Besides senior management, it is generally a collaborative work environment dedicated towards getting the job done. The people you work with will have your back and you'll meet lots of nice people whose goal is simply excellent customer service.

      Cons

      Prioritization of the projects and employee engagement are recognized as issues. Any gains in engagement they may have made have largely been wiped out by the global layoffs and outsourcing. Senior management seems out of touch with how the company has performed well in the past. The goals and mission statement of the company are ill-defined and largely come down to "we've got your back"... not really differentiated from other financial instiutions in my opinion.
