      Pros

      Able to operate your own business : As a Self employed Advisor, I was able to create my own schedule and see clients on my preferred time. Great Compensation : Sun Life has a great pay structure where you are generously compensated including trips, recognition and awards. Growth Opportunity: I started at the company as an Advisor in Aug 2014 and currently in a Management position within year and a half period: Great organization to growth with. Great Environment: Fellow Advisors, Management team and Staff members are all high energy individuals who are highly supportive in the growth of the Financial Center, Advisor Business and Culture at the Scarborough location.

      Cons

      Busy Schedule as you have to be good at Time Management.

      Underwriter

      Anonymous employee

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very flexible and casual atmosphere. You can choose your own hours (some employees worked 6am-2pm).

      Cons

      Very little growth opportunity into other departments. There were opportunities to move up within the role itself i.e. intermediate to senior level underwriter, but if you were interested in other roles such as sales or business development, it was tough to cross over.
