Pros

Very flexible and casual atmosphere. You can choose your own hours (some employees worked 6am-2pm).

Cons

Very little growth opportunity into other departments. There were opportunities to move up within the role itself i.e. intermediate to senior level underwriter, but if you were interested in other roles such as sales or business development, it was tough to cross over.

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.
