Pros

Basic 9 to 5. Relaxed environment. Good health benefits and 401k contribution. Decent place to work if you don't desire stimulating work.

Cons

Compensation is below market. Raises are small year to year. Not for the ambitious or anyone eager to continue growing their resume. Favoritism is strong. Management is 100% out of touch with the needs of staff. Expect your opinions to go unheard here. Be a robot and a yes man to be successful here. Unless you're the external auditor Deloitte, don't expect a promotion anytime in the next ten years. But if you are Deloitte, PL will love you above all else.

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.
