Vantaggi

I could not think of anything. It was a pretty bad job.

Svantaggi

The company culture is very corporate. Dress code was strict but has become more lenient. They are pretty strict about jeans for some reason, its not like clients or bank customers come in, no reason it should be this strict. 40 a hours a week too much for this role and for any role there. You will be left with an unbearable amount of free time. I was unable to find enough to do to keep me busy, yet management expects you to work a full 40 hours a week. The Vegas office has less management and they just use it for lower level jobs. Promotions are rare and don't really mean much. Don't worry though, managers in San Diego like to have people monitor you and make sure you sit there all day doing monotonous work. The strict PTO and sick leave are the worst I've experienced from an employer. If you get sick, like with COVID, but you haven't worked the few months it takes to get sick days you will have to use your accrued PTO. You only get 2 weeks of PTO you have to use for things like doctor's appointments. Do not work at Axos if you would like to work from home. It's ironic how a company so focused on being online has a strict policy against WFH. They only give it to the select few for medical reasons. If you are unlucky enough to get a spot next to the customer service reps I hope you have noise cancelling headphones. Coffee machine is only decent and since the coffee shop in the building is gone that leaves you stuck with the machine that always runs out of packets. The breakroom was pretty boring because nobody talks to each other. They leave out snacks that would barely pass for a kindergarten class. Things like crackers and pretzels.

Vantaggi

Only pro here is that certain roles will let you operate above your title, e.g. exposure to sides of the job reserved for senior roles at other firms. 15 days PTO to start is actually not terrible either. Great coworkers depending on your team.

Svantaggi

Too many to list here, but will try. Main issue here is the top-down culture of fear and internal politics, as the entire bank is at the whim of one person. Managers are exclusively concerned with looking good in front of the CEO, and even top SVPs are terrified to be honest with him. SVPs routinely complain about not being able to get comp raises for employees, while simultaneously being terrified to ask. Do not expect your manager to go to bat for you if it in any way involves being assertive. If you want to work for a borderline alt-right CEO who belittles employees openly, this is your spot. The only people that thrive here are those who have never worked elsewhere and do not know what a real company looks like. Looking forward to the HR denial response here too. Some other cons: - Zero WFH allowed - Below market compensation across all roles - Stock bonus vesting schedule that take 4 years to fully vest

Axos is a performance-driven environment with a clear expectation of accountability, transparency, and results at every level. Leaders are expected to advocate for those who are performing on their teams, have direct conversations, and drive outcomes. Many employees thrive in this environment because it provides meaningful responsibility, exposure to leadership, and the opportunity to contribute beyond a narrowly defined role. Compensation and rewards are managed through structured processes aligned to market data, business performance, and individual contribution. Equity programs are designed to promote long-term alignment and retention, which is standard practice across the industry. Our onsite model is intentional and supports collaboration, speed of decision-making, and execution, key differentiators for our business. While that model may not be the right fit for everyone, it is clearly communicated and consistently applied. We continue to focus on attracting and retaining high-performing talent who are motivated by impact, ownership, and the opportunity to build in a fast-paced environment.
