Complete lack of leadership

Pros

They have sweet nerf guns that make it look like everyone is having fun when everyone is dying inside.

Cons

I didn’t take the advice of numerous people who worked at Pyxl previously and accepted what became the worst job and career move of my life. Brian Winter is a man of extremely low integrity and treats his employees like cattle. He recently hired a new CEO and COO who he just let go 6 months after hiring them, along with 6 or 7 other people. I only worked there for 5 months but in that time period multiple people left every month and there’s only 30 people in the company. I’ve never seen turnover like this before. The pay and benefits are terrible. I took a huge pay cut to work obscene hours and get yelled at by clients because leadership made grand promises that were impossible to fulfill. At one point my boss was a client of Pyxl - try to wrap your head around that. I had three bosses in 5 months because everyone quit or was asked to leave. And the last two months I had no one to report to. It’s honestly the worst place I’ve ever worked. There is zero leadership. They just fired everyone who makes too much money, ie, anyone with actual experience — which was still far below market standards — so they can keep paying interns minimum wage and college grads $35k. The nonexistent HR rep will respond to this and say things like “turnover is normal at agencies, and our pay is based on market standards, and I’m sorry you had a bad experience, etc. Do not listen. If you are considering taking a job at pyxl find and talk to people who use to work there first — there’s a lot of us. Go to Design Sensory or Clayton Homes, or Discovery instead. Honestly go anywhere else.

Integrity Matters

Pros

Flexibility in work location because they are desperate to stop the bleeding of employee departure.

Cons

There is a lack of integrity that stems from the founder, Brian Winter. He is a self proclaimed marketing guru, but in reality, he has grown the company on the backs of his employees. He has sent business to Pyxl from other companies that he worked for which is a complete conflict of interest, and he did so to benefit his personal financial position. Be careful what he promises, the only promises that he keeps are the ones that benefit him, and his "chosen ones". The leaders are egotistical and untrustworthy.

Pyxl Response

Thank you for providing your feedback! As with any marketing agency, and any business really, we do have some turnover (both addition and subtraction). While we're sad to see someone leave, we're also proud to see where they are going - whether to manage a team in-house or work locally in a new state. Something to consider though, our turnover rate from the last quarter was 6% (3 of 50), and we've added a new CEO, COO and head of Design to continue and amplify Pyxl's positive growth trajectory. Another core truth of our industry is that most new business stems from a personal relationship, both past and present. However, if you have concerns please bring them up to a person who can help address/resolve them (i.e. manager, leadership team, etc.). We would be happy to talk it through.
