Axos Bank reviews

Not a traditional bank environment - no 2 hour lunches, 10 years of doing the same task each day, etc. Not a good fit if you are looking for that experience.

- Axos is firm about wanting people in the office even with a pandemic ongoing. There was even a positive case on my floor, and while there were multiple of us in a meeting room with them for over an hour, we were told to come into work still the next day as "they wore a mask so you're fine". - Axos also utilizes ActivTrac to monitor employee efficiency, noting when your mouse has been inactive for over 2 minutes. - Cubicles in the center of the building have no real sunlight. - Supposedly, the turnover here is somewhere near 40%, and it seems that everyone I meet here had just started a few months to a year or two ago. - As a JBA, your workload can fluctuate a lot as sometimes you have the workload of a regular analyst and other times you have to fight for busy work. - There's not many days off during the year, with only federal bank holidays counting. In 2021, we weren't even given a Christmas or new years observed even though those days fell on a weekend. - Severe lack of training at the start. Manager introduced themselves and essentially had another analyst delegate busy work to me for the next month. - Low opportunities for promotions/raises; if you earn a promotion you basically take on the extra responsibilities but don't get paid the new rate until 6 months later. - The term Junior Banking Analyst seems to just be a way for them to justify paying us less than the regular Analysts and to mask it as a learning experience. - The rotational program is tough as it usually takes a month to get familiar and comfortable with your job, and by then you could only have 2-3 more months before you rotate to your next department.
