Average company overall

Compliance Officer (Ancien employé) - GTA, ON - 25 septembre 2023

Pay and benefits were decent. Fellow colleagues complained of challenges advancing within the company. Performance review was solely based on your manager's assessment of your work. Co. actually removed documented feedback mechanism available for employees regarding their own assessment. Poor management of compliance department.

Points positifs

Hybrid work

Points négatifs

Stressful, work overload.

Customer Service Representative (Ancien employé) - Waterloo, ON - 13 septembre 2023

Started off well but once was familiar with management and how things were run, you knew it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.Pay was alright but like a lot of bigger corporate companies - work politics exist.

Ok Place

Advisor (Employé actuel) - Windsor, ON - 23 août 2023

Great if you're kick starting your career. Not the best long term. They OWN all your clients, and use a system called NAFYC to determine your comp. They will not tell you how to calculate your comp, instead they say "wait for the system to calculate it"

Deceiving

Advisor (Ancien employé) - St. Catharines, ON - 4 juillet 2023

They recruit based on a fantasy that you will have no set schedule and make really good money. You are self-employed. This is a commission based Job and the payment structure is so complex that managers can not explain it. If you do not hit targets you owe them! You are required to buy their equipment, complete courses (out of pocket) and provide them with a list of your 100 contacts. Before you officially start work you must have a minimum of x amount of active flies, that equals the dollar commission amount needed and completed all your licensing. It is not explained before signing on with them. If you are interviewing as all the questions. Since you're self- employed you are able to make up your own schedule, that is the only bonus.

Really good place and environment and a wonderful employer to work for.

Variety of roles (Ancien employé) - Waterloo, ON - 25 mai 2023

What is the best part of working at the company?The way Sun Life treats their employees. There are wellness programs and wellness days. There are opportunities to grow within the company and there is lots of flexibility around remote, hybrid work. What is the most stressful part about working at the company?Some people managers are not people persons. That can get stressful if you happen to fall under such a manager. Out of almost a dozen managers I had one was not a people person and that was stressful. What is the work environment and culture like at the company?Really good team members and you get good support from the team. Friendly people. What is a typical day like for you at the company?Before the pandemic it was like parking the car and getting into the building to a lot of friendly greetings from fellow sun lifers and security/ reception folks. Getting to the desk and settling down - checking the meetings for the day and going to get tea and breakfast from cafeteria to more friendly faces and greetings. The café staff are hands down the best employees ever. Then go on with the day until lunch doing work, collaborating with team members and working on my own. Then getting a healthy lunch from café- more friendly faces and greetings and back to work. When the weather is good I used to walk to uptown Waterloo to pick up a lunch that I can eat at my desk. Then continue work. At the end of the day if we wanted we could go to the gym in the building. We get a discounted membership.

Terrible organization

Financial Advisor (Ancien employé) - Remote - 9 mai 2023

Terrible compensation structure. The firm ensures that they can make money off their advisors out the gate. You pay for ansolutely everything out of pocket. 0 salary and all compensation is based off commissions. Pressure you to sell to friends and family, which no matter how you position it, is extremely akward and uncomfortable to do. If you dont feel this way, you're likely a bit naive. If you completely sell your soul and squawk their squawk you may do well. Otherwise go elsewhere, you'll likely accumulate more debt than anything trying to float by with this organization, and they'll gladly bill you on your way out if they can find a way to with no remorse.

Points positifs

Can't think of any

Points négatifs

Pushy, cult-like, poor comp model
