Pros

The benefits are decent and you can buy an additional week of vacation every year. The company matching is pretty good (company match of 6% and 100% vested at 5 years). In my department and experience, I haven't had any micromanagers, though I know some exist. There are opportunities for volunteer work, which is fun. This is one of the reasons I'd be proud to work at Pacific Life -- involvement in the community as well as company matching for charitable donations.

Cons

No room for advancement, unless you're related to someone or have mastered the art of brown-nosing. Want to wear jeans? It's gonna cost you $5, and only allowed on designated days. Sometimes there are free jeans days.

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.
