Pros

Affordable healthcare, somewhat flexible PTO and friendly co-workers. These are the main things keeping any decent talent at Daxko.

Cons

The new CEO has a child-like ego that cannot handle criticism, so he has surrounded himself with yes-men and women. The general corporate philosophies and antiquated policies enacted under him make me question the quality of education coming out of Princeton University. These policies are creating a culture of Haves and Havenots. Leadership team and HR have become puppets that cannot think for themselves. Typical corporate politics have begun to set it.

Thank you for pointing out some of the benefits of working at Daxko. Don’t forget about the referral program with bonuses ranging $2,500 - $7,500, 4-week paid sabbatical every 5 years of employment, and great office space! Our senior leadership team makes decisions based on facts and data. Specifically, our CEO has implemented a documentation process that requires reviewing each situational assessment and supporting data before making any significant business decision. We are implementing policies and philosophies to establish the company as we grow and that will scale with multiple locations and products. As we shared in our presentation of team member engagement survey results with the entire company, when feedback is received, we are willing to adjust as needed for the betterment of the whole. We encourage you to share your constructive feedback directly with a leader, People Development team, at a round table or a fireside chat with Ron, the CEO.

Pros

If you are a millennial- this is your place! It will be like getting to be in your college sorority or frat all over again! I bet they will even have a secret knock and handshake soon! But fair warning- don’t look to learn from mentors and leadership because they won’t know any more than you! Lol!

Cons

Oh, I don’t know —maybe age discrimination? The CEO said it best himself in one of his Friday morning meetings- “we are testing purposely to find those that are young and smart so we can pay them less.” Which is fine for new hires. But firing people and replacing with 20 year olds is age discrimination and is exactly what they have been doing for the last year. With a laughable severance — Daxko makes you sign your life away not to sue the company for age discrimination or post blasphemy on social media sites... dangling a small severance over your head—- don’t sue, and you will get this. Of course most cave because they have kids’ mouths to feed at home. And yes, us employees know because you have fired our friends and they are honest with us and want us to know what kind of company we are working for. Sitting ducks we are- wondering who is next, wishing we had never come here, and hoping we can find something else before we are the next to go. Do yourself a favor, no matter how bad things are in your current position- this place is so much worse. Bad products, treating customers badly and only worried about the bottom line, That’s Daxko!

Hi! No attorneys or PR team here, but you're right about me responding with kindness. I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and for sharing your frank feedback. If a company doesn't have both positive and negative reviews, I'd worry about its credibility! We don't try to hide the negative reviews, and the former and current team members who make positive comments here on Glassdoor aren't bribed to do so. You're right - Daxko is a great place for Millennials and Gen Z'ers who are just starting out in their careers. We have more than these age groups at Daxko, though, and we welcome hires from all backgrounds and experiences. I also want to address your comment about treating customers badly, because that's not who we are as a company. We treat customers with fairness and respect and will always do so. I hope your experience here at Daxko gets better. Please know that you can come talk to me anytime, in-person, via email, or on Slack. I'm not a leader, but I'm a listener, and I'd love the opportunity to learn more about your comments above. -Janna

Pros

Free lunch on Friday Coworkers are generally friendly Free individual healthcare and $200 for a family (but I have heard this is going away)

Cons

Managers for little cliques Upper management lets lower management do whatever they want Underpaid Long hours in service department with no overtime (salary) No accountability when managers mess up Very few internal promotions, despite what they say The CEO, Dave, has become very detached in comparison to how he was in the past
