Actuarial Analyst Review

Actuarial / FinanceFull-timeHybrid
Sep 5, 2025

What I liked

Good exposure to large-scale insurance products and strong actuarial teams. Flexible hours helped with study time for exams.

Areas for improvement

Promotion cycles favor more senior hires and salary increases can be slow. The company still has pockets of siloed teams which makes project work harder.

Aug 15, 2025

What I liked

Strong mentorship, clear technical roadmap, and generous learning budget. Hybrid setup works well for focused work and collaboration days.

Areas for improvement

Decision-making can be slow at times and cross-team coordination is bureaucratic. Promotion timelines are not always transparent.

Jul 29, 2025

What I liked

Great-West Lifeco provides strong parental leave, good benefits, and a culture that supports work-life balance. Lots of internal mobility across regions.

Areas for improvement

Internal processes can be slow and there is still some legacy HR tech that makes day-to-day tasks clunky.

Claims Adjuster Review

ClaimsFull-timeOn-site
Mar 2, 2025

What I liked

Stable employer with good benefits and decent job security. Colleagues were supportive and the training when I started was helpful.

Areas for improvement

Base pay is low compared to market, and there is limited upward mobility in my team. Workload spikes during peak claims seasons led to long hours.

Financial Advisor (Contracted Sales) Review

Sales / DistributionContractRemote
Jan 10, 2025

What I liked

Competitive commission structure and access to a wide product set. The remote setup allows me to manage clients across provinces easily.

Areas for improvement

Sales targets can be aggressive and support from operations can lag when issues arise. Onboarding could be more consistent across regions.
