Pros

There’s a ton of natural lighting and other workspaces. Free coffee (Starbucks) drinks and fruits (no “snacks” such as chips, pretzels, cookies etc.) The workforce skews young if that’s your thing

Cons

Pay: the salaries across the company are frankly, laughable. Combine low market salaries with benefits that are continuously slashed and reduced, the company is only concerned with their own profitability, not the profitability of their human capital. The work that customer success puts in is significantly worth more than the 33k base salary everyone is offered Drama Club: There always seems to be backstabbing and constant passive aggressiveness. No one seems to know where they truly stand with their manager or the company at large Turnover: Daxko seems prone to excessive turnover. Whether it’s firing someone four months into a role or promoting someone who is under-qualified twice in a year, expect your role/teammates to change Cliquey: If you don’t fit an artificial mold that your manager has, you will be out the door before you know it. If you aren’t inherently extroverted, stay away from here. They want people who are happy go lucky and will die for the company. They expect loyalty but will give none in return Office life: Its an open office plan, but really it feels like you’re being watched or monitored throughout the duration of your shift unless you’re fortunate enough to be back behind the window. The nature of the work (basically a call center) makes it extremely difficult to form even basic office friendships with your colleagues as you or them are always on a call or solving a case. Cubicles are rather small. CEO & Leadership: The company is now run by a used car dealer who has been accused of mysognistic complaints at his previous stop. It’s almost as laughable as it is inexplicable and disgusting. For an Ivy League educated man, it is truly stunning how many outdated and inefficient philosophies and frameworks he holds. He frequently expresses his desire for employees to work longer hours (8+, praises those there hours earlier and later) but does not offer overtime or any additional benefits. Compared to the previous CEO, the new leadership team is lacking in vision, competency, and basic human decency.

We appreciate your candid feedback. We agree that we have a great office space with some nice perks. These perks also include a sabbatical every 5 years, 401k matching, and uncapped earning potential with our generous bonus programs. I would like to take time to clarify a few points you mentioned. Total compensation: Our customer service team is the source for most promoted individuals. Coming in as an entry level position gives you the opportunity to move into positions across the organization which also include increase in compensation. With our bonus programs your earning potential is uncapped. In Q1 alone, we’ve given $35,000 in spot and bonus referrals. Turnover/Clique/Drama Club - We have had individuals leave Daxko voluntarily and involuntarily. Please know that no one is terminated without appropriate due diligence. And because our Customer Service team is one that is most promoted into other roles throughout the company, that team will have consistent change – but we think that’s a good thing. Culture is defined as values held by a group of people living together. Our values are, and continue to be Ownership, Integrity without Compromise and Synergistic Teamwork. With Ron Lamb, new CEO, joining we now add Individual Responsibility and a Desire to Win. The last two may challenge certain individuals, but we believe these are positive additions to push us forward as a world class organization. Office Life: Our open office is designed to foster collaboration and teamwork. This is visible to any individual that visits and tours our office. We also offer many options for privacy when needed including meeting space, break out rooms, and the Daxko Café. CEO & Leadership - We’ve shared your feedback with Ron, but we always encourage team members to get to know the CEO. He’s available and is more than happy to sit down in a small group or one-on-one with any of our team members. The continuous change at Daxko is exciting as it shows that we are a vibrant and growing organization. Again, we appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your career moving forward.

Pros

Remote work Some fertility benefits

Cons

I spent multiple years at Daxko and watched a company with tremendous potential slowly erode the very culture that once made it special. When I joined, I was surrounded by talented, collaborative, mission-driven people who genuinely cared about customers and each other. The people were the best part of the company and the primary reason many employees stayed despite growing challenges. The decline did not happen overnight. Long before the official layoffs, there was a steady reduction in resources, support, and investment in employees. Teams were repeatedly asked to do more with less while expectations continued to increase. Employees were routinely put in positions where success was nearly impossible, then held accountable for outcomes they lacked the resources to achieve. Under this leadership, the culture deteriorated. Collaboration gave way to politics. Accountability became selective. Favoritism became increasingly obvious. Opportunities, visibility, and career growth were not consistently tied to performance. Instead, employees quickly learned that relationships with leadership often mattered more than results. The most damaging aspect of the culture was the constant flow of blame. When initiatives failed, responsibility rolled downhill. When employees raised concerns, they were often ignored, dismissed, or labeled as the problem. Trust steadily disappeared because leadership repeatedly failed to address issues that employees openly discussed. I personally raised concerns through HR regarding leadership behavior and workplace issues. Nothing meaningful came from those conversations. The experience left me with the clear impression that protecting leaders was a higher priority than addressing legitimate employee concerns. Many employees operated under constant uncertainty. Priorities changed without warning. Expectations shifted without explanation. Feedback was inconsistent. High performers were expected to absorb additional work, compensate for staffing shortages, and continue delivering results without meaningful recognition, support, or advancement. Despite consistently performing at a high level and taking on increasing responsibility, I did not receive a single promotion during my three years with the company. What ultimately broke me was watching talented people burn out. I watched good employees leave. I watched strong performers become disengaged. I watched brilliant minds be replaced by less expensive folks and ai bots. I watched people who cared deeply about the company lose faith in leadership. The company talks extensively about culture, but culture is not what appears in presentations, town halls, or leadership messaging. Culture is how people are treated when they speak up, make mistakes, disagree, or need support. By that measure, the culture failed. Cons:     •    Toxic leadership culture     •    Favoritism over performance     •    Lack of accountability at senior levels     •    Burnout of high-performing employees     •    HR perceived as protecting leadership rather than employees     •    Constant organizational instability     •    Layoff process lacked empathy and respect
