Time Away from Work
At Pacific Soda, we believe that "refreshment" applies to your life just as much as our products. We know you are at your best when you have the opportunity to recharge, which is why we encourage all employees to take meaningful time away from work to rest, travel, and enjoy life with family and friends. Time Away from Work To support your work-life balance and provide flexibility for life’s unexpected moments, we offer a generous leave program: • Paid Vacation Leave: Your initial vacation leave is granted upon hire, so you don't have to wait to plan your first getaway. To keep things simple, your full annual allotment is refreshed every year on January 1st. Personal Days: In addition to your vacation time, we provide up to three (3) personal days per year. These days are yours to use however you see fit—whether you need to handle a personal appointment, attend a school event, or simply take a "mental health day" to reset.
Disability Coverage
At Pacific Soda, your financial stability matters, especially during those times when you need to focus entirely on your health and recovery. That is why we provide Short-Term Disability (STD) and Long-Term Disability (LTD) insurance through UNUM at no cost to you. By providing both short and long-term disability at no cost, Pacific Soda ensures that you are protected from the first week of an injury through an extended recovery, allowing you to focus on getting back to your best. These benefits are designed to protect your income and provide peace of mind in the event of an illness or injury that prevents you from working. Short-Term Disability offers financial support during temporary medical leave, while Long-Term Disability ensures continued income replacement for extended absences.
