Pros

You get a paycheck at the cost of your well being.

Cons

This place is the worst place I've ever worked at. I actually worked there from 2001-2003. In reading the more recent reviews..not much has changed. The micro-managing, the blacklists, management explicitly telling you "a good employee is one that shuts their trap and pretend everything is good", littered with extremely poor managers. Won't even approve your educational reimbursements even though it was promised as part of the benefit. This is a sad and extremely demoralizing place to work. I was so so happy when I finally got out.

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.
