Pros

Monday to Friday 8 hours a day No weekends or evenings

Cons

Sun Life has 4 metrics for performance for customer service, but the management of the contact center focus on only one and it's speak to the company's true focus: Average call handle time - The expected handle time is 6 - 7 minutes. Each call, on average, includes a 30 seconds intro, 1:30 of hold time, 30 second closing and 1:30 of after call work (which is also included in the average call handling time). The management say it is to ensure that we don't waste the customers time, but you are left with 2 - 3 minutes to handle some pretty emotionally and financially sensitive questions affecting the callers daily life. This metrics alone suggests that they are more concerned with getting customers off the phone quickly than actually helping them. Until they actually realize that it is easier to retain an existing customer than get a new one Sun Life is in trouble.

Pros

Holidays off, okay pay, cross train in other areas that are needed

Cons

Managers, doesn’t keep advancement promises, always mentioning room for growth but when the opportunity presents itself they have an excuse for why right now is not a good time to move. Adds training for other departments that are short staffed but don’t compensate for all the different departments calls you are taking. Trying to take PTO is a pain, there are plenty employees so there should be no issues with taking time off
