Pros

The culture , great managers, transparent CEO and leadership, great brand.

Cons

The problem is they hired me into an entry level position and then expected to retain me in that position for a year or two. In my same new hire class they hired and put someone in at a lvl 2 but that was never offered to me. In my same new hire class someone was promoted to team lead but that option was not even suggested to me when I mentioned I had another offer. I told management and other parts of Pax8 divisions I wanted to stay on but just needed a slightly higher wage. The exit interview they asked me what was done to retain me? Nothing unfortunately , she just stated yeah that’s something we need to work out. I was emotionally upset to leave Pax8 and I was genuine and up front about my personal life and thought somewhere in this company someone would do something to help me stay. When I was interviewed initially I was told that within 6-9 months I would he promoted and it would be a fast track to growth within the company but I could see from the trend that was not going to happen and it wasn’t for missing quota because I didn’t. Also the round robin system can be broken as the best leads go to preferred sellers. I haven’t been gone but a week and still waiting to see if someone will reach out with an opportunity to come back.

Thank you for the overall positive review and your kind comments about our culture. We are sorry to hear that our rewards package wasn't the right fit for you currently. Pax8 regularly benchmarks our total pay to the market and our top performers often earn well above the midpoint of the competition. Although it wasn't a good fit for your current situation, perhaps our paths will cross again in the future. We wish you the best of luck.

Pros

Strong individual contributors who are partner-centric. New office is nice for hybrid work.

Cons

What was once a strong culture has eroded significantly due to poor leadership, misaligned talent in key roles, and a chronic lack of strategic direction and communication. Tenure or relationships are rewarded over competence, and those at the top protect each other — even when decisions have negatively impacted the business and/or partners. People are treated as revenue-generating assets, not human beings. Leadership is so deeply disconnected from the real problems that have persisted for years.
