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.

Midlife Agency Crisis

Pros

Close proximity to Market Square downtown. Easy access to a decompress.

Cons

- No employee advocate or formal HR department. HR is remote based, ineffective and unresponsive. Remote HR = Remote & non-existent corporate culture. - Policies and structure change constantly to account for shrinking workforce. Changes aren't communicated well. Some changes and policies effectively never get communicated, or are altered to suit management exclusively. - Leadership failings have led to a complete collapse and resulted in substantial employee departures. To make matters worse, these failings have made it out into the recruiting pool and other local businesses. Pyxl's tailspin is common knowledge in the community. - Often employees have no idea how to execute a project because services are sold that the agency simply isn't equipped, qualified or able to do. No one is held accountable at the sales level, and the front-line creatives have to bear the brunt of the poor decision making. Clients spend thousands for mediocre work because the agency isn't committed to investing where it counts. Significant amount of work is now outsourced.
