Pros

Flexibility about the only positive. Decent pay!

Cons

Have to pay for everything office, internet, any marketing material even the labtop they make you get then tell you you need to pay for it. Manager always questioning you and coming at you. Only happy with you on the day you sell something, then back to questioning you. They only get paid from the advisor sales. I am non occupant of the Financial Centre and they expect me to drive over 200km there and back twice a week for a 30 minute meeting. Waste of Time!!!!

Pros

The Scarborough office is in a convenient location, but that's all I can think of when it comes to positive things for a claims job in the scarborough Maine office.

Cons

The worst worst managers in the Short Term Disability claims department in Scarborough Maine. So unfriendly, and they make their employees cry and feel worthless even though they work so so hard. Micromanaging to the extreme . would come into emails daily like "I watched the numbers like a hawk yesterday and can you tell me what you spent most of your time on, because your production is not where it should be for someone who worked 8 hours " the worst place I've ever worked and I know a lot of people who left the Sunlife in the Short term disability department after a very short amount of time after starting the job due to abuse. We all complained to HR. I hope it made a difference for some of the people who haven't been able to find another job yet.
