Pros

You get paid a lot (if you’re the CEO) - some have listed the two snacks in the break room as “pros”, if the only pros you can find are the two dry/stale snacks they give you, maybe reconsider?

Cons

I’ve worked here for quite some time hoping things will improve, but they never do. - 3 Covid positive cases in one week and still never closed the office; refuses to allow employees to work from home despite a pandemic - it is common knowledge here that junior level employees are severely underpaid, especially for having college degrees (they claim to pay competitively to market rates, it’s not true. do your research first) - false positive reviews on glassdoor (there are no “golf outings”, seriously?) - pay raises are minuscule, a few cents in many cases - bonuses are paid more in stock than cash, which only vests 1/3 every year; and are not commensurate to the amount of work being put in (do as little as possible and you’ll probably get more than the hard workers) - lack of diversity (or even an attempt at diversity); not to mention 0 programs in place for employee resources or wellness - CEO is still heavily involved in employee bonuses despite having 1000+ employees and not actually knowing them

Axos Bank Response

Thank you for taking the time to share your input. We consider all reviews on this forum to be authentic, and we take each and every one seriously. There's a lot to unpack in your review, and we'll try to address your main points. First, we try not to hide the fact that we have a unique, meritocratic culture at Axos. We push team members to operate outside of their comfort zones because that's where they learn and grow the most. Does that create a challenging environment? Sure. Does that foster excellence and drive success at the individual, team and organizational level? Absolutely. At a time when other banks are shuttering branches and reducing headcounts, Axos is on a hiring spree. We don't believe in furloughs or layoffs; we look to capitalize on opportunities in the marketplace and redeploy -- and retrain -- our team members accordingly. This formula allowed us to emerge stronger from the Great Recession, and we expect the same to be the case in the current economic downturn. Our pay packages are competitive and comprise a base salary plus twice-a-year, merit-based bonuses that are paid in a mix of cash and stock. Stock awards vest over three years and are intended to give team members a stake in the future of the company. Our CEO is very involved in leading this company to being the success it is and is yet going to be. Finally, we are committed to the principle of maintaining the safety and well-being of all our team members. Around two-thirds of our team members worked remotely during the pandemic. All of our office locations are in full compliance with all local public-health guidelines. We are genuinely sorry to hear your impressions, and hopefully you'll agree that this is not a generic response to your review. We encourage you to address your concerns with your manager.

Pros

The company’s focus on AI and automation was genuinely valuable. It provided opportunities to learn new skills and stay current with emerging technologies.

Cons

• Workloads were consistently extreme, leaving employees with no real relief or balance • Employees were expected to work excessively long and exhausting hours on a constant basis • Daily expectations were unrealistically high, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment • The environment showed little regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable working conditions • Burnout became a constant risk due to sustained pressure and lack of support • Leadership showed no visible concern for struggling employees and failed to check in or offer help • Communication and support from top leadership were largely absent during periods of high stress • Colleagues were also overwhelmed and overworked, leaving little ability to provide meaningful support • The overall atmosphere created isolation and frustration due to lack of assistance and empathy
