Pros

SunLife used to have a great practice of hiring from within. The compensation can be in the top quartile if your boss likes you. You will end up with may friends at the company, as opposed to just co-workers.

Cons

In the past 12-18 months there has been a major shift at the senior management level, and roughly 20-40% of every dept has been laid off...only to be replaced with friends of the new senior management team.

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.

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.
