Manulife Employee Reviews & Ratings

Advancing can be quiet challenging. Interview are many and abundant but competition is very high.

Overall medical benefits, work culture,

Salary is not competitive as compared to the market for this role.

No sales no pay and hitting numbers.

Opinions doesn't really matter. 3 weeks paid time off is small for the volume of work

Underpaid. Lots of tasks. FTE Shortage (not because we can't hire anyone, but the management asked to lessen the FTE) Weekend OTs

Need to be self-motivated in pursuing clients to get more commission

They could pay better and reward initiative.

Lots of internal politics and overlapping responsibilities.

they require 2 days office onsite every week

Base pay can be higher compared to market

Internal Processes needs improvement for employees to feel more valued

In house talents low increase per year

One of the teams had a new VP, which changed everything in the engineering culture, they didn't value the MLEs' work properly and the team manager had no ideas about the latest AI technologies and no desire to help the team explore the latest AI domain.

Commission kept reducing and bonuses etc

Company direction seems not to be friendly towards experienced employees with regards to salary/bonuses.

Sometimes not very responsive management

Large organization so there could be slower adoption of new things

Nothing to be complained about

Management can be inflexible sometimes

Old systems Cannot fully remote

It's very easy to become overloaded with a lot of work.

Senior management is untrustworthy. Team members are superficially nice and helpful. Not truly a hybrid work environment. Career advancement is challenging.

A lot of work but finding your balance is key, WFH helps

The caseload is pretty high

Lack of challenge, bad RTO policy

Mandatory return to office policies, slow growth, lack of opportunities.

Outdated technology Poor management Bad culture

Target bonuses (capped), internal mobility non-existent, long-tenured employees make promotions difficult within a team

Stressful at time, but manageable

-Increase responsibility when dealing with finances of other individuals and focus. -Unfixed working hours

income can be unstable but all depends on how much you willing to input

Need on site for 3 days since April

For the managerial roles, the salary is way below the market.

The nature of a customer service role, way too stressful and heavy work loads.

Very male dominated at senior levels despite DEI Focused on reducing expense Fewer roles in Boston. Transitioning to Canada or offshore

Upper management (you know who you are) forced everyone to come back to the office even though there was no reason to justify it. They say it's about synergy, productivity, and collaboration which is a complete lie and we all know it. There is no data to support that productivity is better when returning to the office. It's extremely insulting to all employees because it's saying the value of employees lies more in their presence in the office than in the tasks they perform. The worst part is that they are trying so hard to cover up the real reason instead of being transparent. Just say you need people to be back in the office because you have tax write-offs for your office lease and you have investments in commercial real estate. In addition, you are also trying to lay people off without paying people severance because you know people would quit over this RTO policy and if they don't comply you will fire them with minimum severance. This is an extremely scummy move. There was no negotiation or survey for anyone to even discuss whether or not we had a choice. It was just one meeting and everyone is now forced to come back to the office 3x a week. Props my colleagues who tried hard to fight the RTO policy.

- Stressful sometimes - Back to back calls

Things can get bureaucratic sometimes.

Could have more perks in office

Slow pace compared to other competitor

Could be a lot of projects can come our way, but it is seasonal

Could have more opportunities for training reimbursements

Did not offer a full time remote option after covid, culture felt forced sometimes

Somehow not even workload among teammates

Directionless management Too many ladders from management to ground-level, decisions are not reflective of what is really going on The culture is very divisive, people from different level dont hang together The business is clearly trying to make the numbers for the next quarter and doesn't invest in order to be successful in a few years down the line - the remuneration is decreasing for sales people even though the competition is strong = a lot a turnover and unhappy worker

Competitive , stable working environment.

Because of its desire to change, they are making big choices around spending

Not much, all good here

Leadership development; several simultaneous changes to upper management
