Thank you for the feedback. We are committed to fostering a creative, challenging and empowering environment focused on career growth for our employees. I’m sorry to hear that we missed delivering on this experience during your time with Pacific Life. We value all feedback and are always looking for ways to improve the work environment. We know it can be challenging to move ahead in an organization that has many long service employees. We are proud that people who work for us want to stay with us. This says something about the positive culture we have created. We are working hard to provide more early career opportunities to our employees through a number of programs such as our Actuarial Rotation program and Sales Academy. We know more work is needed and this continues to be a focus for us. Additionally, we have several enterprise-wide initiatives underway that will build a more modern, flexible and responsive workplace for our employees. We are excited about these initiatives and are pushing forward to deliver on these in the near future. If you’d like to share your ideas on what we could do better, feel free to contact Employee Relations at 949-219-3532.

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.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for recognizing the strength of your team and our benefits. Our in-office approach is designed to support collaboration and connection across teams, while still offering flexibility through one remote workday per week, along with our flexible workdays benefit, which allows for additional remote days throughout the year. Feedback like yours helps us continue learning how this is experienced day-to-day across different roles and teams. We appreciate you taking the time to share.
