      Pros

      Sun Life was a good place to work for years. Company financials are strong and a good name in the market.

      Cons

      In the past two years there have been tons of job cuts causing turmoil within the organization. Constantly looking to cut costs including employee compensation, service and products. Not the happy company feel it once had. The sense at the organization is that it no longer cares for its employees leaving the workforce stressed.

      3 year downhill stumble that ends in 800 layoffs

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Fair benefits though they got cut back over the years. Good work life balance for most

      Cons

      Bad career development. Spent way too much on sales and sponsorships. HR department goes by the book when it benefits them but makes excuses when it doesn't. Badly run and now employees not involved in the decisions are paying for it. Employees that survive the layoff, including the new college leadership people, should take note and get out quick as it will get worse.
