Pros

Unlimited PTO Work from home Flexible schedule Free lunch on Fridays & fully stocked fridge

Cons

The majority of people at Daxko are overworked and underpaid. The new CEO wants you to work longer and harder hours but I do not see any increase in compensation coming our way. It is definitely not the same company from before. There are also a lot of under qualified people in their positions which makes it hard to bear working with them.

Daxko Response

Thank you for the feedback provided in your review. You are right that Daxko is not the same company from before. There. We said it Change doesn’t mean worse. Daxko has always been known for the strong benefits package offered including flexible paid time off, strong health insurance options, paid sabbatical leave, free Friday lunch and most of all great team members. I want to provide better clarification to a few items. • Compensation – We use 3rd party data to ensure that the salary ranges offered are competitive within the market at that time. Does that mean that we always get it right and wouldn’t need to make adjustments? No. I’d encourage you to go to your team lead or come to the People Team directly so we can have a conversation about your situation. Since starting with Daxko in July, Ron Lamb, the new CEO, has implemented regular spot bonus recognition and increased the amount of the referral bonus from $1,500 to up to $7,500. These are both avenues to increase individual compensation. • Working longer hours - You mentioned some remarks that were made about the length of workday. Our CEO stated that although he routinely works from 7 AM to 7 PM, his expectation is that team members need to put in a solid 8-hour workday each day. We have many fun events at Daxko including team building events and unlimited PTO , but we all also know we are part of a mission—one where hundreds of YMCAs and JCCS rely on our products and services daily to positively impact their communities. This is why our motto is “work hard; play hard.” Please speak to your team lead or the People Team if anything remains unclear or concerning. • Development of management – Continuous development of everyone is important, especially forr leaders. This development occurs through events like the Daxko Development Conference where leaders will have close training from senior leadership team members and peers from across the organization. • Under-qualified people – Daxko has a rigorous interview process that allows hiring managers to identify the best people to join their teams. After a new team member joins Daxko, we know that skills will continue to develop from on the job opportunities and training—all which makes the individual, the team, and the company better. Again, thank you for your review. We believe we have the best people, a clear vision and opportunities for rewards and recognition of the great work from all of our teams. I encourage you to talk with your team lead, leadership team member or the People team to have further dialogue.

Pros

Most people care a lot. And try to make the best of the miserable environment.

Cons

The culture is toxic from the top down. Leadership creates an environment of constant chaos, shifting priorities, and little accountability, leaving employees to absorb the consequences. Management by fear is accepted and, at times, seems to be embraced. The company continues acquiring businesses with little apparent planning for how those acquisitions will be integrated into the broader organization. Rather than building scalable processes first, existing teams are simply expected to absorb additional work while already operating at capacity. The result is an organization that constantly feels reactive instead of intentional. Every day becomes another exercise in putting out fires while being criticized for failing to anticipate priorities that were never clearly communicated. Leadership struggles to establish, communicate, and execute on a coherent strategy, making it difficult to accomplish meaningful work or feel successful. Long-term planning consistently takes a back seat to constantly changing priorities. Concerns about leadership and workplace culture are raised, yet the same patterns continue. Employees are left feeling unsupported, overextended, and increasingly burned out while leadership appears insulated from the impact of its decisions.
