Data Axle

Data Axle is so focused on the bottom line that they cut resources and employees, directly impacting client work. The company will overinflate client pricing  more than rate sheet pricing to pad the bottom line to satisfy executive bonuses and look better to the Bank and board of directors. 

Regularly understaffed. There’s not enough people for the work even when the client pays for the headcount.  Talented individuals get stuck with more work. Individuals who speak up with an opinion regularly get terminated or undermined and not supported by leadership. Creativity and unique skill sets are not valued. 

Processes are terrible. Client facing work appears as “best in class” but the behind the scenes process are an absolute disaster with many processes occurring manually. 

For employees, there is no formal bonus structure. Bonuses are few and far between for below Director level. There is also no formal annual review process to discuss employee success and improvements or career path.

There are a few really great leaders on the agency side, but the enterprise organization led by some individuals that severely lack integrity. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Remote work and some flexibility 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Manager did not know how to manage, grow and challenge team members- no clarity constantly changing direction daily - no goals and objectives .  One on ones were about the manager - talking and badmouthing team members and prior employees.  Very divisive environment.  Management undermined employees continually.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Divisive and back stabbing- not healthy

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Stressful not knowing what the constantly changing hidden agenda was - working day and night to an unknown goal

Run away. Keep looking. Unless you like telemarketing. Cold calling. They say warm leads but the leads are a joke. Great Commission structure but hard to attain. If you don't hit they keep your sales and pay you a draw but if you hit you have to pay your draw back and only walk away with what's left.  barely achieves. No support and it's like pulling teeth to get an answer from management. Just throw you right in. You get paid a draw no salary. No company culture

You're essentially making cold calls back to back all day with minimal breaks and having other companies answer the same survey over and over. If that's the environment you enjoy this job is for you, otherwise stay away. The work/life balance is great and the PTO you receive is good. However almost everything else just isn't or good or very competitive with other similar jobs. Management will hear you but rarely ever listen to you.

Can be a great company to work for but it is dependent on who your manager(s) are, some are great with continued education and development and some are not.  Base is low when you start in sales, but there are opportunities to eventually make good money if you grind, but mainly it’s all about getting lucky and picking up the phone when a larger company calls, but beware there’s a good chance another division will see the opportunity and take it away.   Lots of changes every year with commission plans, and continual movement of the goal line to making money.  Remote is great but harder to branch out and learn about the company and make connections outside of your group. 

Used to be a solid company and still has some good employees on staff.  But there's not much else to recommend here, aside from the ability to work remotely.  Pay is stagnant, advancement from within limited, communication is poor and morale is low.  There's zero job security because they're trying to offshore many positions to India.  If you manage to hang on through the waves of layoffs, ultimately the company gets flipped to a new private equity holder every few years.  The cycle then repeats with new rounds of re-orgs and layoffs.  It's just a chaotic environment with no prospects for stability in sight. 

The people that I worked with at Data-Axle was a major reason I stayed so long. They have a talent for picking up competent and friendly people.

My direct manager is fantastic. Providing help when it is asked for but trusting me to do my job with limited oversight.

The CEO is energetic and confident with a good vision for the future of the company. Unfortunately the future of the company appears to not include my division of work. 

Company is constantly cutting costs, usually at employees' expense. Salaries have been frozen for the past 5 years during which time they've raised health insurance premiums, refused to match 401k contributions, eliminated fringe benefits, had multiple rounds of layoffs, and started moving jobs over seas. Meanwhile executives are keeping empty offices open around the country to give themselves a reason to expense "business" trips. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
It was a job that paid the bills, that's it.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Never knowing when would be sold again, or even if the company would even be around in a year. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
There is no work environment or culture. Most of the data jobs are located in data centers in Prune India. There's only sales and administration offices open here.

People are awesome and love the PTO and flexibility. I don't like how we are overworked and get paid poorly. Competitors for the same position pay 20k+ more  starting. Cost of living has went up but there is no belief in that by the CEO. Raises are far and few and when you do get one it's a tiny amount, and then they raise the insurance.
