Chaotic - Sales Pax8 Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. I want to acknowledge the deep sense of frustration and perhaps even injustice you feel about your time at Pax8. As you would know, we are growing rapidly, acquiring and integrating new businesses, while at the same time building new markets in Europe. This means we all work in a dynamic, agile, rapidly changing and sometimes ambiguous environment. In the Zwolle office we have an international culture and more than 20+ languages. Communicating in a multi-national environment takes practise, courage, patience and curiosity. We are also a young organisation that likes to promote from within. This means everyone works with leaders who are themselves on personal growth journies. Blame and judgement are not tolerated. What we do value in all our people is their ability to lean into personal growth - alongside their managers to support each other during challenging times. A value we all work on daily is always assuming positive intent with our colleagues. We also recognise building a sales pipeline in this environment is challenging. While some people thrive with these greenfield and entrepreneurial growth challenges, we understand it is not for everyone. There are no shortcuts to building a great sales team in a new market and I appreciate the sales function maturity may not have come quickly enough for you. Our complexity and pace is challenging. We are not perfect but we are heavily committed to developing every person at every level and making significant investment in leadership training this year. All our managers want to deliver is a great people experience. We would encourage any of our current employees experiencing frustration to talk to their manager, mentor or any of the leadership team who can provide support, wellbeing, context and alternative perspectives which we are all facing during these exciting but challenging growth times. I am truly sorry your experience did not work out in this role, but regardless we wish you succes in your next role.
