Pros

Benefits are good, work life balance OK but could be much better. For example, you can only work from home if you have other appointments (postal delivery, Dr). Most companies these days allow their employees moor flexibility to work from home. Very structured environment but overregulated both externally (insurance) and internally (process).

Cons

Systems are very old and although they are looking to improve, it makes for very slow and costly projects. Career paths are also very limited. They like to say they are a global company but it's really all driven by their Ontario office.

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.

Cons

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.
