Management. There are a lot of red tape in trying to get approvals either through enterprise or just within a department. There is also a lack of transparency among upper and middle levels of management and the workers. This is also reflected in the silo work between groups. The right hand does not know what the left hand is doing. Right hand kills or implements programs/systems/etc without understanding what it will do to the left hand or knows about it and moves forward anyway.
Performance Reviews. If you have a good and fair boss and you do a good job and handle your responsibilities, you will get a good review. However, if you have a bad boss who has an axe to grind with you or anyone, you can expect a bad review even though you did duties. Furthermore, since your bonus is based on a your performance review, you either can make up the rest of your average comparative salary through your bonus or get a paltry sum all on the whims of your boss.
Company culture. In light of what happened at the end of last year and beginning of this year, I think the reasons behind those decisions made run counter to what Axos Bank’s culture and values are about. I hope that managers can take a look at their own actions and how that reflects on their team and Axos’s culture.
