Very easy to get hired because that's all they do. The quality of talent that they bring through the door is lacking. - Financial Advisor Sun Life Employee Review

Pros

Very flexible hours and unlimited earning potential. It can be a very rewarding career. Some branch managers are very helpful and want you to succeed.

Cons

They charge you rent - you pay for everything including $300 a month for group benefits which is mandatory! The training team is lacking talent in the investing side - very young and inexperienced often does not give correct information. The managers are hired to recruit and that's all they do - once you are there 3 years they couldn't care less about you they are focused only on hiring not helping their current advisors.
