Pros

The only pro is that you have a job, literally. Especially during COVID.

Cons

- This company pays about~15% less to their employees in terms of salary and benefits than any other company in the United States. - Extremely toxic work environment - Human resources is almost non-existent. Its about a team of 5 HR employees for a company of over 1,000 employees. - managers are employees who have made through the wreckage, so they tend to be terrible to their employees - Everyone deflects all their works to other departments. Zero team work within the company. - Every department is against each other - They do not pay out vacation or sick hours if you quit because "they are not required to" ( this happened to me). - "Bonuses" are taxed and misrepresented. You also get half of bonus in stock which you cannot USE FOR THREE YEARS. If you leave before the 3rd you lose the stock. - Your salary/bonus take into account how much they pay for your medical contributions. - They ask their employees to post reviews to Google to wash out the bad reviews. - They do not pay for your move when you are transferring from one location to the other, even though it's a "promotion". - As a bottom level employee, you get ton of crap from managers. For example, you get assigned a ton of work, but you get reprimanded for staying past working hours to complete the work because you are being paid overtime. - Company doesn't provide adequate environments for COVID to their employees. - Company is so cheap that they would rather keep useless employees instead of firing them because they do not want to pay unemployment. - Basically a dog-eat-dog world for nonsense. - work like balance is non-existent. - Senseless employer who only cares about the money going into this pocket and the board pocket.

Pros

Only pro here is that certain roles will let you operate above your title, e.g. exposure to sides of the job reserved for senior roles at other firms. 15 days PTO to start is actually not terrible either. Great coworkers depending on your team.

Cons

Too many to list here, but will try. Main issue here is the top-down culture of fear and internal politics, as the entire bank is at the whim of one person. Managers are exclusively concerned with looking good in front of the CEO, and even top SVPs are terrified to be honest with him. SVPs routinely complain about not being able to get comp raises for employees, while simultaneously being terrified to ask. Do not expect your manager to go to bat for you if it in any way involves being assertive. If you want to work for a borderline alt-right CEO who belittles employees openly, this is your spot. The only people that thrive here are those who have never worked elsewhere and do not know what a real company looks like. Looking forward to the HR denial response here too. Some other cons: - Zero WFH allowed - Below market compensation across all roles - Stock bonus vesting schedule that take 4 years to fully vest

Axos is a performance-driven environment with a clear expectation of accountability, transparency, and results at every level. Leaders are expected to advocate for those who are performing on their teams, have direct conversations, and drive outcomes. Many employees thrive in this environment because it provides meaningful responsibility, exposure to leadership, and the opportunity to contribute beyond a narrowly defined role. Compensation and rewards are managed through structured processes aligned to market data, business performance, and individual contribution. Equity programs are designed to promote long-term alignment and retention, which is standard practice across the industry. Our onsite model is intentional and supports collaboration, speed of decision-making, and execution, key differentiators for our business. While that model may not be the right fit for everyone, it is clearly communicated and consistently applied. We continue to focus on attracting and retaining high-performing talent who are motivated by impact, ownership, and the opportunity to build in a fast-paced environment.
