Well, ouch! This review is hard to hear, but very appreciated for the candor. Pax8, as you know, is experiencing growing pains in every area. That said, we are actively listening to feedback through our Your Voice Our Future listening strategy and other forums. Our focus in 2024 will double-down on Pax8's healthy culture while providing our people leaders with important tools and skills. This constructive feedback is taken to heart, so thank you for leaving a review.

Pros

Anyone who is not in a management or "leadership" position is great! Unlimited PTO.

Cons

You see all the great Built in Colorado articles about this place, and you think it's going to be great, until you're there. The novelty of Pax8 wears off very quickly, the blinders come off shortly after walking in the place, and after a few weeks you see this place for what it really is. Toxic. The nature of the reviews are quite indicative of this. It's quite telling how after a few bad, but honest reviews, the page is then flooded with very short and to the point "good" reviews. Makes one wonder if people were enticed, or god forbid, threatened, to post more positive reviews. After dealing with much of the leadership here, I wouldn't put it past them, and would suggest both those options are true. It's really quite sad.

You make some interesting accusations in your review which are blatantly false. Specifically, about enticing or even threatening our employees to post good reviews. We absolutely do not, in any way shape or form, do anything to request or influence employees to post reviews. We take feedback very seriously and welcome honest and constructive feedback.

Pros

You could make 6 figures without really selling anything and there was a simple formula for success! Shamelessly ingratiate yourself with the self-congratulatory, self-promoting Sales and Marketing leadership charlatans who relentlessly perpetuated a good story about “blowing up” and “disrupting” the industry by sycophantically liking and sharing every social media post they produced. Flattery and imitation could get you everywhere it seemed. Don’t forget to throw out “props” to everyone else around the company for basically doing their jobs. Everyone and everything are “Awesome!” To achieve your quota, you simply needed to be a good storyteller and convince new partners, who are in many cases already buying and using what you are selling, to buy it from you instead of somewhere else by offering them a cheaper price. It’s sort of like reselling discounted Netflix or Spotify subscriptions and then making the grandiose claim that you are disrupting the entire streaming media industry because customers can now buy both services from your website instead. But there is a catch, if they had a problem with either service, your partner would call you for help because they can no longer call Netflix or Spotify directly. Don’t worry though, you could pass on those problems to others around the company so you could continue your storytelling and earn cash! Cast your skepticism aside, and potentially your ethics, and you could do very well!

Cons

There were too many sales and marketing bro’s with pretty boy man buns who evidently believed that office administrators were there to be their mothers by cleaning up their messes in the kitchen and ordering their lunch deliveries. Narcissism and immaturity were rampant. The pretentiousness and posturing at all levels could be nauseating at times. You had to be very careful not to express your own thoughts or opinions or you will be shunned as a heretic. If your working style and habits didn’t imitate the practices of the Anointed ones, IE; including the incessant use of whiteboards to “visualize” your thoughts, multicolored sticky notes arranged in columns to track your “To Do” and “Doing” tasks, etc., then you simply did not fit in. Make your whiteboard renderings as busy and complicated looking as possible and leave them up for everyone to see. It would make you appear smarter. As for those tasks on sticky notes, the more the better. They too will make you look more important and busier than everyone else. Attend every meeting you are invited to and be sure to bring your laptop so that you can work on other things during the meeting. Ask a question or two so that you can appear to be engaged while not really listening, then you can continue to safely pound away at your keyboard answering emails.

You are correct that we encourage employees to acknowledge their peers for a job well done. This comes from the work that our employees did In 2016 to define the values that built Pax8, which are to Innov8, Advoc8, Elev8 and Celebr8. Our culture is to call out individuals that demonstrate these values and help to move us to move forward as a cohesive unit.
