Pros

Nobody I know seems to be working crazy hours. The culture here is nice. Leadership is not passive aggressive or blame shifting. You are incentivized to outperform because pay and bonuses are good. Could go make more money somewhere else, but not worth the loss of an excellent work life balance here at PL.

Cons

Alot of the factors that comprise our bonuses seem to be outside of our control. For example, return on expenses, cap rates and claims - not something we can necessarily directly control. Senior management makes alot of top down decisions before figuring out the impact to bottom line.

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.
