Pros

Great Pay and benefits, far superior to thier competitors. Fantastic leadership team who cares about the company, customers and its employees . Ultra modern office environment and if there are any profits they do not go to a shareholder but rather the community (unfortunately it has been a few years since a profit has been made though).

Cons

Changes are needed in PBCs cost structure to survive as they compete against companies who have outsourced everything to India and the Philippines. Despite the benefits for the unionized employees being more generous than the Management teams benefits, CUPE is misleading it's membership to think management is trying to strip away thier benefits. CUPÉ being primarily a public service union doesn't realize that the more they try and push business away the less high quality jobs there are for its members (unlike government). Really sad situation they put thier membership in and I hope it's resolved soon. The employees on the picket line are awesome hard working individuals but the silent few are misleading them and it is so unfortunate.

Pros

PBC fosters a team environment and inclusivity. There is flexibility and a great work life balance. There is a flow of communication between management and the employees

Cons

There is not many cons. Training is hard when working from home and no set process. Not sure what going back to the office would look like

Thank you for highlighting our collaborative and inclusive environment. The pandemic has prompted Pacific Blue Cross to adapt to a new temporary normal of remote work for many positions, which includes the tradeoffs of shifting training from in person to virtual delivery. We are taking a cautious approach to returning to work at the office as the health and safety of our staff is our top priority.

Pros

a good place to work, very caring environment, supportive of team mates,

Cons

the way they determine holiday time based on seniority does not work for employees with families. Don't expect summer holidays unless you have been there for a long time.
