Pros

Since starting my tenure at Daxko 5 years ago, I've experienced many changes throughout the company. From acquisitions to role changes to leadership moves to simple desk rearranging, our sense of an open, forward-thinking culture and team member impact has been laser focused. The people at Daxko have made every change and milestone infinitely better and more rewarding. Our leadership team is comprised of dynamic leaders that seek to not only grow the business but, most importantly, grow and develop team members. There's amazing perks like flexible PTO, a one-month sabbatical, gym membership reimbursement, the ability to work remotely, casual dress, innovative office space and many more! Daxko is an amazing company to work--not only due to the company itself but due to the people that make the organization.

Cons

Like they say, hindsight is 20/20, and Daxko's leadership team continues to learn to embrace change and accept feedback in order to not repeat mistakes in the future. If you're not accepting of face-paced change, Daxko is not the place for you. Change is inevitable, but it's especially true at an ever-evolving technology company like Daxko. Resistance to change or lack of grit are two forms of kryptonite at Daxko. Without the ability to champion change while maintaining grit and tenacity, you're likely to not succeed here.

Pros

Daxko has gone through a tremendous amount of change over the last year and a half! Has all of it been easy? NO! Have I agreed with every change? NO! Do I still think Daxko is a "Best Place to Work"? ABSOLUTELY! Things change; it's a fact of life, but not all change is bad. Daxko is still the BEST place I have ever worked. I'm surrounded by the BEST people who push me to grow and be the best version of myself. And I truly believe in our mission to make the world a healthier and happier place. We're growing and continuing to create and enhance the best products for the health and fitness industry - and I love being a part of that.

Cons

Bring back "family" lunch. The pace of growth can be hard to manage at times.

Pros

Free Friday lunch "Unlimited" PTO Generally friendly team members Casual dress

Cons

Corporate culture is beginning to creep in. Employees have been forced at threat of termination to sign a new, over-reaching non-compete agreement for all active employees). New employees should be warned, they will be forced to sign this if they want to work at Daxko - READ IT CAREFULLY. If you are seen to be in violation of this agreement and you do not work in the company's headquartered state of Alabama, you will be forced to travel to Alabama at your own expense to engage in litigation over any issues. Additionally, YOU will have to pay for all of Daxko's corporate attorney fees plus any associated costs with no limit on what the total could amount to. Daxko wants you to know that they are willing to bankrupt you if need be. If you leave Daxko for any reason (your decision or theirs) there is a two year ban on direct or INDIRECT competition, which could be interpreted as just about anything. One of the great benefits that gave Daxko an edge was that they have the Achievers Club trip for top performers across the entire company rather than only rewarding the sales team as corporate companies do. This makes a lot of sense for a software company since your technology teams are the brains behind the business. Because of high level leadership changes and the board's desire to cut spending, Achievers Club has been renamed and is now reserved only for sales team members. The response to this review will probably say that there is a conference in a city with an existing Daxko office for non-sales team members in replacement of Achievers Club, but in reality the sales team are the only ones who get rewarded for hard work. If you are considering apply, you may way to reconsider. Daxko has become heavily sales focused. If you are in the technology field, just know you have better options.

Thank you for the feedback. We do have some pretty cool perks and great people in our office. We are all looking forward to warmer weather so that we can break out the shorts and flip flops. After a review of existing changes in laws and the acquisition of multiple companies, we wanted to ensure consistency across the entire organization. This did require us to roll out a revised restrictive covenants agreement, but please note, not much changed from the agreement we require all new hires to sign when starting. We agree that everyone should carefully review any document they are asked to sign. There has been a shift from Achiever’s Club, but it is not because we wanted to save money. Daxko Senior Leadership created the Daxko Development Conference to invite exponentially more individuals from across the organization to come together in one location to build cross-location and cross-team relationships, provide development opportunities and have some fun
