c est très bonne compagnie sauf que le salaire dépend uniquement sur les commissions donc c est stressant .
j aime les défis par contre je cherche une sécurité de salaire aussi
Pay is a joke. After 16 years there and being a high-achiever I am nowhere near what my peers working at other companies are making.Management says they want you to take time for yourself and use your vacation days, then make a fuss when you book the time off.It was better 14-15 years ago before they offshored many of the jobs to India. Now nobody knows what they're doing and my team is stuck fixing all of their mistakes when it's not even part of our job. Look elsewhere.
Points positifs
Work from home
Points négatifs
Fixing mistakes made in offshored jobs in India but no raise in pay
Do not apply if you care about work-life balance. Management will not ask you to work overtime, but workload is intense, and you do not have choice to work overtime without being paid.

Points négatifs
Work load and management
Management and advisors work closely and collaboratively for the wellbeing of clients. Lots of opportunity for growth within the company. Training is always available and technology/technology tools are always being updated.
Points positifs
Supportive Management, Pay, Benefits
After working at the company for a few years, you can definitely see the inclusive culture and supporting peers you would expect from Sun Life. If you are looking for a work-life balance, this is the right company for you.

I had interview with the managers, got selected and hired. They scheduled me to write an exam to get my LLQP license without asking me my availability. I passed the exam, scheduled many appointments with the clients with my immediate manager. Acquired new group insurance and wealth and other businesses. Didn’t pay me a penny and when i quit, they didn’t give me any information on what to do with my LLQP license to keep it active. Poor management with excellent training.
Points positifs
Excellent training
Points négatifs
Commission based and no advancement opportunities
Self employment as insurance salesman good training and ok products. Not true self employment they still can end contract anytime and force sales minimums. n
Points positifs

Points positifs
Flexible work arrangements
Points négatifs
None that I can think of
Been a great company to work for, for 30 years. Can still work from home during the world pandemic. Flex time has been good for a single mother. Sun Life has taught me a lot over the years.
Points positifs
Steady hours
Points négatifs
Small salary increases yearly
The work culture was like nothing I had ever experienced. Very friendly and inviting. I learned a lot about disability case management principles.My management was great!I felt the onboarding and ongoing training and development has a lot of room for improvement, which they are working on. The central case management software is also terrible but is also being completely redone.
Points positifs
a lot of paid time off, amazing mental health coverage
Points négatifs
no formal performance reviews or clear guides on how to improve
Emplois et carrières chez Financière Sun Life
Un cadre de travail collaboratif et motivant c'est dommage que le salaire ne soit plus motivant au fil des années.
Great salary and benefits but no loyalties from the company. Over stressed environment with no proper trainings nor support from managers. You have to be able to find your way around to train and be productive.
Points positifs
Good benefits
Points négatifs
No loyalties
The Sun Life career network is described to applicants as self-employment.This is the first lie. While it is true that the career offers a lot of autonomy over various aspects of the job, the management team will always be behind you to find out what you are doing, and if they deem these insufficient they will quickly become harassing.Recently, some regions no longer have a financial center, forcing applicants to make arrangements and obligations on their own, without Sun Life having to worry about anything.They have a good game. Resources, money, employees and etc, but Sun Life asks advisors to represent the banner well when the interest to do so is very low.Short-term commissions are lower than elsewhere. The fees are higher than elsewhere as well.Compensation and commissions are very complex and there are regular errors. Makes me think it's designed with the goal of stopping a full understanding of real pay.There are a lot of people in the hierarchy who are not honest. Be careful not to rely too much on them. After all, if you ever need support or whatever, it will be Sun Life first.Promises, promises and more promises, but at the end of the day, those promises are rarely delivered.In your beginnings they will be sympathetic, compassionate, available, but at a certain point things turn out so you have no choice but to listen. Clients are owned by Sun Life. So in your beginnings, you have no leverage, it is always Sun Life that will have the big end of the stick. They will make you do things you don't want and you will have no choice but to listen, because you - plus...
Points positifs
A certain professional freedom
Points négatifs
A lot
The work environment is highly toxic and it depends on who you know. HR is not independent in handling reported cases of manager mentally “abusing” staff even with supporting evidence. The executive leadership has been campaigning mental health at workplace this year, but none of it is enforceable. Manager has the power and sole authority to be unreasonable in their ask of you. For example, making it impossible for you to take time off to the point of you having to forfeit your allotted vacation days and using performance evaluation as the leverage. HR does absolutely nothing but work for the management.
Points positifs
If you are connected to the right people in the company, you can get away with high compensation and not having to do any work.
Points négatifs
Scapegoating culture
Very disappointed at the way management did not support staff and created fear amongst staff. Compared to competitors Sun Life is far from employer of choice as they claimed to be. Sr. Mgmt action did not live you to their word. What they preached was not supported by their actions.
Points positifs
Decent pay
Points négatifs
but not worth putting up with the feeling of fear walking into work every day
Management doesn't care the staff bully and HR won't do a thing but get you firedNot a great place to work not appreciated for working extra and on top of all that they find any excuse to not promote
Overall supportive environment and plenty of opportunities for lateral moves to expand business knowledge / exposure. At times older systems can be hindrance for new projects but that's typical of large FS.
I became depressed working there.Everything I was told during the interview process was chucked out the window when I started, all the processed changed and they play a game of changing your manager that it gets confusing, in a span on 4 months I experienced 3 different managers
Environnement qui encourage les employés à participer à l'amélioration des procédures.
Points positifs
Avantages sociaux, horaires flexibles
Points négatifs
Toujours en changements, il faut s'adapter facilement
The job is straightforward but the onus is on the Advisor to self-motivate, and to produce your own prospects. If you do not have a large warm market you will find it difficult. Also complex and continuously increasing requirements for compliance with government regulations.
Points positifs
Freedom and opportunity to build a substantial income
Points négatifs
You have to be prepared to do the work, and be extremely self-motivated. Also, long hours
The company makes hard for the employees to perform. They make the employees go through much scrutiny just to create a show. In reality, your survival is greatly depend on who is your manager and team leader, you will find there are actually no consistency in the way the STD-LTD claims are handled. The job itself could be more satisfying to any case manager if they were not constantly micro-managed. Paid money is actually very low once you divide them into the total time you actually put doing your job. The benefits are provided by the company are in comparison to all other out there serving in same industry profile.
