Pros

They give us a very flexible time and financial advisors are well compensated. They also give lots of training and managers are very nice.

Cons

I thought becoming a financial advisor will focus on teaching average Filipinos how to invest and manage their money. But they just want us to focus on the rich or those who already know how to manage and make more money. I wanted to help but they think that I was wasting my time on small cases. They also have this sense of entitlement, pride and "My time is more important than yours" which is against my character of being humble, giving justice and generous. Also, if you are sensitive to rejections or has a hard time creating small talks or trusting other people then you will have a problem with this kind of job.

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.
