Pros

Good benefits plan, easy to get into the company if you start at the call center, pay is competitive. Honestly its a good place for someone who has little or no post-secondary education as you can stick it out and move up over time.

Cons

They like to sell you the idea that you will get training and move up the ranks when in fact it takes way too long. More skills = more pay, but you cant get more skills if theres not enough people, high turnover, bonuses are ok but don't be surprised if you do not get one. Currently pushing for a lot of sales so for me that was a con

Pros

Some great people who are hard working Work from home opportunity existed Base pay was fair Learned about how to navigate a complex matrix organization

Cons

Old Mutual Lifer's act like they own everything - very 2 faced and dishonest Management felt they could bully the employees If management likes you - even if you don't know what you are doing - you will go far FAVOURTISM is rampant and toxic Bonus and raises are low (they use a bell curve so only a few people can get 4 and 5 ratings) My boss was 10 years younger than me and an awful people manager - rude, condescending, ignorant and felt she was better than everyone else - took credit for our work
