Pros

We have a well educated, experienced and intelligent CEO that embodies the epitome of what it means to have a clear vision for success in the long term for our company. He has stated his expectations and been transparent about them. It also does not hurt that we are representing some of the best technology in this industry. Our CEO is doing what should have been done a long time ago, which is remove the politics and begin to weed out the people who have been nearly tenured here due to special relationships within the company, but do not bring any real value. He is changing Daxko to a work focused environment versus just being a playground, and letting people who are not performing well, but are team leads that spend more time with their pets than working have the highest job security (director of marketing for non profit). In regards to the more insignificant pros, free Friday meals definitely does not hurt.

Cons

The pace is definitely fast here, and change has been frequent, so be prepared for surprises to come up when you least expect them. An acquisition could occur..etc.

Thank you for the positive response! Yes, our new CEO has a clear vision for Daxko to make the world a healthier and happier place. And that includes further investment into our technology, rewards and recognition for high-performing team members, and greater levels of accountability at all levels of the organization. As always, if you have any concerns about a particular team member, please address those directly with the individual or come to the People Team. Thanks again your enthusiasm and support for the exciting direction we are heading in 2019 and beyond!

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.

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.
