This has been a challenging time for most work environments. We are actively hiring to improve our Team Members’ work balance. Our daily and weekly planners provide a barometer in understanding where time is being spent, where we can improve the process and systems used, and to help us hire appropriately. We follow CDC and state/county guidelines and comply with all applicable laws and regulations to ensure that in-office work happens safely. We do not believe in policing our staff. As stated in our Mission, one of the areas where we work to continuously excel is the harnessing of data and technology to manage our business most effectively and efficiently. The development and motivation of our Team Members is also essential to the Axos Mission.

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

Axos operates in a fast-paced, high-performance environment, and expectations are intentionally aligned with the level of impact our teams are driving. At the same time, sustainable performance matters. Teams are structured with defined priorities, and leaders are expected to actively manage capacity, set clear goals, and maintain regular check ins, especially during periods of increased demand. Experiences can vary across teams, and feedback like this helps highlight where execution may not always meet expectations. Maintaining a productive, engaged workforce requires ongoing attention, and leadership remains focused on balancing performance with a sustainable work environment.
