How many companies do you know that will commit resources to work as your buying agent when looking to buy a home – only to give their commission back to you (after closing on a home) in your paycheck?

Pax will! ✔

How many companies have ever given you a $300 year-end bonus after your third year with them – only to increase that by $100 for every subsequent year?

Pax will! ✔

The benefits don’t stop there either. You can also expect...

Simply put, we want working at Pax Hotels to be about more than a paycheck if you would like it to be.
