Pros

Friendly peers, cheap healthcare, free lunch Friday

Cons

Which delusional person is writing these snobby, dishonest, poorly-written Glassdoor review responses? Let me clarify some of the dishonest responses that I've seen to these Glassdoor reviews, Daxko has stated that there have been large sums of money paid in bonuses and extra earning opportunities this year. The majority of these bonuses are for employee referral bonus. We are encouraged to refer out friends for jobs at Daxko. These referral bonuses are paid out over the course of multiple years, so the numbers are always inflated. Also, the amount paid in referral bonuses is not worth the negative impact it would have on any friendship. Quick tip: if someone has referred you work at Daxko, you may want to consider whether that person actually considers you a friend or an enemy. We are continually told that we have unlimited earning potential because of this referral bonus if we choose to refer candidates, but we are not your recruiting staff. Our regular Daxko jobs consume more than 40 hours a week as it is. I wanted to write this review to clarify the misleading information written in the Glassdoor responses. Anyone considering coming to Daxko, I encourage you to read the negative reviews written over the last 6 months. It is widely known throughout the company that the five star reviews are completely falsified.

We agree with you that we have not only friendly, but amazing team members working at Daxko. In addition to low-cost employee-paid premium, our healthcare coverage is great. Having catered lunch on Friday is a nice perk, but don’t forget about free drinks and coffee, 401k, gym reimbursement, and not to mention the 4-week paid sabbatical after every 5 years of employment. Ok, let’s jump into the areas you have listed as cons. Each Daxko response to a review contains the title of the person responding on behalf of the company. As the Director of People Development, let me correct your misstatements. Each time a response mentioned referral bonuses, the amount giving is reflected as earned, not paid. A team member can earn between $2,500-$7,500 per referral on qualifying roles, which is not an insignificant amount. As unhappy as you sound, you are posting as a current employee. Daxko must be doing something right for you to still want to be here? If a friend refers another to work at a company that they enjoy, I would suggest anyone having a good conversation with the referral source. If you know of someone posting falsified reviews, we, as I’m sure Glassdoor, encourage you to address this in the appropriate support channels for this site. Daxko does not now, nor do we ever intend to misrepresent ourselves to anyone, period.

Striving for Average

Pros

The company is very relaxed but laser focused. Everyone works well together and there is a definite sense of community in all of the offices. Plenty of room for growth if you're an ambitious person.

Cons

Far too often, Daxko Senior Leadership likes to compare itself to the average company or competitor as an excuse for taking away a benefit, changing culture or not working to keep tenured employees. Be prepared for less than average pay and promotions that don't come with much of a raise.

Thank you for the response. Laser focus is what we believe to be key to Daxko’s future success and growth. We have the best on our team to make this happen and we’re glad to have you aboard to make us better. Our goal is to be the best employer in the world. We hear your concerns about comparing ourselves to other employers but know that average is not now--nor will ever be--our goal. Keep the feedback coming and thank you for being a part of this growth period at Daxko.

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.
