Too Much Change and Entitled leaders

Pros

Free food and drinks when you show up to the office is probably the only pro I can think of.

Cons

This company moves too fast and tries to jam initiative after initiative down their employees throats. Nothing is baked out and falls flat and then they try to put lipstick on pig and roll out something similar again shortly after. I have never encountered so many leaders who feel their are so entitled in my entire career. Many have grown with the org and have no business being in the roles they are in. Most can't even handle simple conversations with their employees and are overpaid for the work they are doing. Many don't even have foresight skills to look into the future to lead their teams effectively. They will try to sell you on they are growing fast, but they can't even scale appropriately to support their current employee base. Buyer beware of this place!

Pros

If you are in the right territory, it will work out fine.

Cons

This place is a joke. All the employees in managerial roles caught a lucky break and they are very undereducated. I can’t reiterate do not work here unless you are entry level, don’t stay longer than a year. This job is for entry level everything.

Pros

Supportive Environment: Pax8 truly values its employees and fosters a supportive work culture. I truly believe in the culture and the community we have created here. Call it drinking the koolaid but even after 7 years it still tastes great. Collaborative Mindset : The collaboration within the organization is outstanding. Many times have I came across new people or teams in the business who are willing to lend a hand when the opportunity arises. Professional Growth: Pax8 provides ample opportunities for professional development and growth. I have seen many individuals across the business develop and master skills that for some might take several organizational leaps to accomplish.

Cons

Fast-Paced Environment: The dynamic nature of the industry means that the work can be fast-paced and demanding at times. This can be overwhelming for some people and can create stressful situations. My advice would be to steer clear if this isn’t your style.

Thank you for the 5 star review! These are extra special when they come from Pax8ers with such a long tenure. It's great to hear you've benefitted from the positive team environment, enormous brain trust and opportunities for growth that are part of the Pax8 pixie dust. I can only agree with you on the challenges a hypergrowth poses. You're right when you say it’s not for everyone. We recognise that pace and change can sometimes feel overwhelming and are working hard to build organisational muscle around how we manage the volume of change in Pax8. Your feedback around proactive workforce planning is spot on, and it's something we’re actively working on in the People team to better support our teams as we scale. Thank you again for all that you do and for taking the time to share your experience. We're lucky to have you on this journey with us.
