      Look at the high rating being given (India) and that will tell you everything about the path this company has taken.

      Pros

      Some of the best people I ever surrounded my self with. (staff) Used to have a long career path, I could have seen myself retiring here! (not anymore)

      Cons

      Management, this was one of the best companies to work for from late eighties to early 2000. When the healthcare side was sold to Cigna in 2008, that’s when the tide had turned for GWL. In 2014 Bob Reynolds took over and surrounded himself with the very same people who drove Putnam into the ground along with JPM management. They adopted those same policies for heavy offshoring/ marketing and Micro Management from hell, stateside. They dissolved any legacy that used to make Great West Life a success. To see what it has become with the workload, the commitment with zero commission recognition, shows the path this company has taken. It’s not a matter of if your job will go to India, it’s a matter of when. It’s all about managements bottom dollar now, no longer about the staff that made it get there. To the Desmarais family, amazing who you put in charge of this ship.
