If I had a penny...

Pros

Fun work environment and office culture. Coworkers are your friends. Great opportunity to work on multiple projects/skills.

Cons

BUT if I had a penny for every time I was told to "wing" a client presentation, lie about my age, exaggerate on analytical reports, "just make it sound good", etc. I would be rich (which is ironic since their pay scale is far below the city's average). They want cheap labor, don't invest in employee development and sell services and software that they don't know how to accurately use. In addition to this, Pyxl had very poor communication and moral within my department. Managers and HR say they care about employee growth and company culture but their actions speak differently. Employees are expected to work well over 40 hours a week, EVERY WEEK! We also are supposed to have biweekly meetings with managers to talk about a growth plan, projects, successes/challenges, etc. but more times than not these got cancelled or the manager had zero feedback for you. If you tried to bring any of these issues up with HR, there wasnt any confidentiality. This made it extremely difficult to have a voice as an employee (again, which I found ironic considering Pyxl is a digital communication firm). Overall, my experience was very negative, and I would not wish that upon anyone. When it was time to part ways, I was treated poorly and unprofessionally. I guess I should have seen this coming with how terrible their turnover rate is.

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.

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.

Not everything is as it seems...

Pros

Learned to work in a fast paced environment with little support. It led to a better job in the long run. Oh also there's free health insurance!

Cons

Little expertise in managing people or giving clients quality work. Being a boss is easy, but leaders take time to create. Many will tout they are "girl bosses" but should get off social media and actually put in the work to be one. Serious lack of team nurturing in this turn and burn establishment. The company is solely focused on getting new clients rather than taking care of the ones they have. No real HR department. People encouraged to drink hard liquor in the office during working hours and finding gifs to add to emails because it's a FUN place to work. Employees deserved to be better served. Also, companies don't have to use gimmicks like nerf guns to make it a place people want to work...if you do, you are doing it wrong. There was an entire talk about defining company culture, and the only thing that came out of it was making inspirational posters to hang on the wall. When people would ask, how can we all bring these into our day to day lives? Their questions were answered with the sounds of crickets. No one takes responsibility here. Be cautious and don't believe all hype you hear.
