      Micromanagement hell with old-fashioned management style - Anonymous employee Pacific Life Employee Review

      Pros

      Good benefits; good pay with a yearly raise and bonus; nice area to work; there are plenty of good people, but they are swallowed up by poor management practices.

      Cons

      If you play politics, this is the place for you. You are at your "leadership" team's mercy. And they are not leaders at all - they are micromanagement moron's who have no idea how to motivate and engage a team. Don't expect a career path because there is no such thing at Pacific Life. You can only get promoted if you are a brown noser, someone leaves, or someone dies.

      Pros

      What I'm most grateful for is my team and the culture. Pacific Life is full of supportive, knowledgeable, encouraging, and just genuinely great people. I feel challenged, appreciated, and lucky to be a part of this culture.

      Cons

      In-person requirement of four days a week is not consistent. There is lots of flexibility with that, though.

      Pros

      Great benefits and great team members!

      Cons

      The Return to Office policy is driving away one of our talented team members. Blindsided by reorgs. No polls done to determine what is best for our team.
