Pros

Decent salary and bonuses, good career development classes, overall pretty good benefits.

Cons

Try not to work in new business or client services. If you end up there, make it an absolute goal to transfer out as quickly as you can. Much of the management and culture is unprofessional and toxic. In other areas and departments in the company, employees are treated with more professionalism and respect.

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.
