Vantaggi
The time off is really nice when one needs it. Not all divisional managers are as good as some. My manager pretty much gives me the vacation time for the requested dates. I always make requests early. I really like some of the other Engineers I work with.
Svantaggi
The biggest problem I see at Pacific Life is the relationshps between the divisions. There is not one. The old saying " Promoted to the highest level of incompetency" hits the nail on the head in respect to managment here. Many employees are terrified to do thier jobs any more because no matter what someone is going to complain. You are not allowed to think beyond "The Process" or you find your self being repremanded. My manager asked me to help another division once so I did. Then that divisions managment complained that I helped them and I was repremanded for doing exactly what I was told. People are scared to death here. Especially with the unemployment rate and a failing economy.
