Sun Life reviews about "manager"

the work itself is exhausting plus the managers are incompetent.

I can't think of any major cons

micro-managers, and expect overtime during peak.

Traditional / manual way of working as defaults Average age group of the workforce ( Above 40 y/o) High tolerance of underperforming employees despite they may harm the team in a long run Micromanage leadership styles (depending on the manager)

NOT COMPETITIVE PAY - other insurers have starting salaries at Sun Life's high end for the exact same job position. Some jobs are starting at nearly minimum wage. The company publicly announced they were going to be fully remote and have since back-tracked and are now mandating in-office attendance with no flexibility for exceptions. They've increased the mandate so fully expect them to continue to push more days on the future. Poor transparency - you'll get given a corporate walk-around answer from upper management. In an old department, I was denied a role multiple times that I was qualified for and I 100% know now it's because I was pulling numbers in the role I was currently in and they didn't want to lose my numbers there. They ended up losing me to another department due to it. I applied before I was ready a couple times to show my interest but the last two times I was amply qualified and deserving. Like every other corporate company, the CEO and upper management care more about their bottom line than the morale and happiness of their staff. The company says they care but don't actually show actions that prove it. You may have a good manager which helps, but some department managers are awful. For years they've sent out employee satisfaction surveys and people are telling them what they want, but they will do anything except pay more and stop mandating in-office attendance - literally. They put out free fruit that is rotten in the past, but now even that stopped, coffee and sparking water, and set up events that people are fine without. PAY PEOPLE MORE AND LET THEM WORK FROM HOME! That's what they really want! Stop sending surveys if you're not doing anything positive with the information. **Compensation and benefits shouldn't be star-rated together because benefits are good, pay is poor.

Some managers just doesn't know how to manage tasks and their employees well.

To many people in managerial positions that have no clue as to what's going on. Like it's so bad it's difficult to convey to others. They have no respect for the people that work for them. I was harassed repeatedly by a former manager and when I finally went to HR with all the documentation to back my claims they just turned around and told my manager that I reported them. Even though I begged them not to because I was in fear of retaliation which is exactly what ended up happening.

A lot of workplace bullying goes on especially if you are not of a certain background. Managers do not seem to care about the values they preach. Its a very unprofessional environment. There is no consequences for bad behavior so they must have very high turnover. There is a break room but its too small for the large facility and usually dirty. Bathrooms breakdown often. Employees tend to be on personal calls during patient interactions violating privacy laws. Managers are aware and will not enforce laws. MAs are poorly trained in how to interact with patients and discuss patient charts etc in the hallways. If you value healthcare than I would look elsewhere. All around terrible leadership. Lots of meetings but no follow through. For the level of healthcare you are receiving, medical premiums should be covered 100%.
