Pros

- Slight above-average salary for San Diego - "9 to 5" - look at Cons - Nice buildings, coffee machines, and gym, but doesn't matter - Some decent co-workers

Cons

- "Switch & Bait" rewards, job responsibilities and incentives to get new hires in the door. Ridiculous bonus: Highest cap supposedly at 20% [via grapevine, when we were all told can reach 100%]. I met all of my assignments well but my reward was too low. Coworkers also quite upset - Disorganized managers who procrastinate and force subordinates to stress out and work all the time last-minute - Not enough training, nor formal training program at all - 9 to 5, but many are overloaded, overworked, w/ unappreciated work. Huge turnaround, no one ever stays over 2 years - Major politics, transparency doesn't exist despite CEO msgs, catty/nosy co-workers, inappropriate relations btwn male managers to subordinates - Depts are Silo'ed with each other, other dept. often blame other dept for problems. No accountability and throwing coworkers under the bus - Associates don't even bank within Axos Bank. That should be a BIG clue - Low company morale, virtually no culture - Look at Google... many customers hate us

Pros

Great teammates, great boss, flexible with hours (these may just be within my team, specifically). The team and the company has a clear vision on where they want to go. There are semi-annual bonuses, comprised of cash and stock. I have yet to sell any stock, and so far it has grown in value.

Cons

Promotion was slow in coming, but there were salary increases in between. Bonuses were hard-earned, but no goal was impossible to reach.

Pros

The company’s focus on AI and automation was genuinely valuable. It provided opportunities to learn new skills and stay current with emerging technologies.

Cons

• Workloads were consistently extreme, leaving employees with no real relief or balance • Employees were expected to work excessively long and exhausting hours on a constant basis • Daily expectations were unrealistically high, creating a cycle of stress and disappointment • The environment showed little regard for employee wellbeing or sustainable working conditions • Burnout became a constant risk due to sustained pressure and lack of support • Leadership showed no visible concern for struggling employees and failed to check in or offer help • Communication and support from top leadership were largely absent during periods of high stress • Colleagues were also overwhelmed and overworked, leaving little ability to provide meaningful support • The overall atmosphere created isolation and frustration due to lack of assistance and empathy
