Pros

Great people, very good benefits, company looks out for its people, relatively relaxed and friendly atmosphere (depending on which area you are in). Very high on values, integrity and doing the right thing. Strong financials and a great vision for the future.

Cons

The culture is very averse to change, and management seems to have little trust of their people, they have to be deeply involved (i.e. micro-manage) on most decisions. Management can't seem to make decisions quickly, and when they do, they tend to go back and revisit those decisions.

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.
