Pros
1. Depending on your department, your managers will allow you to work remotely on certain days on occasion and allow a flexible schedule that meets your needs. 2. The mall is next door and conveniently, there is a bridge that allows easy access from the office plaza to the UTC mall for lunch breaks. 3. The bonuses are typically up to 20% of your salary, but there is a caveat: 50% of it becomes invested in Axos stock, which doesn't vest for a couple years. 4. IF you are young and fresh from college, this is great for networking with your colleagues. Axos loves to prey on the young and naive for their JBA program and all of you and your co-workers will bond over this!
Cons
Aside from how badly they have treated Covid... 1. Pay rates are below market rate. I think the managers or upper management allows this because they look at your total compensation as a whole even though it is your base salary that truly matters. 2. You are made to feel bad about taking vacation days, looked down upon when you leave the office on-time OR even take a lunch break on busy days. 3. NO way in hell will you be allowed to work fully remote or have a fixed hybrid schedule because the CEO doesn't trust anyone to be capable of getting their work done unless your managers are breathing behind your back! Literally. 4. Discretionary bonuses that happen twice a year roll out AFTER 3 months of that review period, so if you're trying to dip out after your supposed bonus comes along, you will be waiting an eternity. 5. Pay raises are laughable! Expect to get a raise for a couple cents up to two dollars. They are THAT stingy even if you reached your goals and received exemplary reviews and feedback from your manager. 6. Morale in general is very low. Company culture is toxic. 7. This bank cannot retain employees to save their lives. They are forced to hire people that do not have experience and the experienced staff who are training have to bear the brunt of it all. 8. If you are a support staff, expect to be treated with disrespect and for how low they are paying, it simply isn't worth it. 9. Managers are crazy stressed and normalize working 12+ hours. It's just awful and to top it off, they expect you (the underpaid employee) to match those same hours. 10. Copays for medical premiums are high. The cheapest is $55 from what I can remember. Previous companies, especially large ones, that I have worked for were always way less or will cover this entirely. They do offer HSA and the bank contributes $500 per year. This is on the lower range compared to what other large companies contribute. 11. Very little management support. They are just "too busy", probably due to the fact that they have to hop onto meetings every couple hours or so, which isn't very feasible if you really want to get any work done during the day. 12. Management is SO busy that they are willing to skip and overlook steps... make of that what you will.
