Pros

Pax8 is an incredible place to be. We're a fast moving, dynamic, IPO staring down company with lots of opportunity to grow and pivot with in.

Cons

If you aren't prepared to be in an environment that moves rapidly, pivots, and asks you to step outside your role from time to time, this will be a tough spot to be.

Thanks you for the 5-star review. We agree with you in both the pros and cons - as a fast growing company, the pace is not for everyone, and the need to be flexible is a requirement for success at Pax8. Glad you are along for the ride!

Pros

Great benefits Unlimited PTO- they guilt you into not taking it but if you can brave through the awkwardness and take it it's great One mental health day a month- which you need to give 2 weeks notice for (because that is how mental health work) either way still better than most companies who doesn't have this.

Cons

Pay very very very low. Barely a living wage, they prey on college graduates, have a high turn over in sales, college graduates, don't be fooled, you can make more money somewhere else. Don't be fooled by commission or promotion structure, it's all lies. You can perform at 200% and still be promoted more than a year later (This is a real example, even though they promise fast promotion for top performers, also doesn't help that it's a woman I am referring to, it's a total boys club) Incredibly micro managing, don't let your teams even show you as away and you're immediately pinged. Make dials constantly or you're seen as unproductive even though they promote "Learning" all BS. They want you to be dialing constantly. I'll take a 15min break and my manager will ping me "what's up" Morning meeting that starts 10min before your start time and evening meeting before end of day. These are useless meetings with the main objective to make sure you are sitting infront of your laptop. Cameras ALWAYS on, professional attire no matter the meeting- even though management does not abide by the same rules. I can keep going on but seriously just think start up culture that's turned toxic and now their BEST people are leaving or the people who left are the people who drank too much of the Koolaid. Business idea isn't even that great since giants are catching up - look at MSP subreddit and search Pax8 people see no difference in them and other major corporations anymore. Makes your sales job so much more difficult. I was also told MULTIPLE times that if I want to o succeed I need to work overtime

Thank you for reaching out. I am sorry you did not have a good experience or feel you were given the support to thrive. Pax8 strives to provide a great culture for all of its employees. Our employees' well-being is our #1 goal, and we are constantly looking at where we are succeeding and what needs improvement. We have raised pay for the Cloud Generation Specialist team two times this year based on feedback like this and from the team that was benchmarked against the industry to ensure we are taking care of our employees and their way of life. We also invest heavily in the professional development of our managers, even before they step into a leadership role, to prepare them to handle what comes their way. If there is more you would like to share, we would be happy to connect. Please feel free to reach out directly to pops@pax8.com.
