Pros

You will work with some really amazing people.

Cons

All of those amazing people may eventually be fired or laid-off and the company may say it was for performance reasons or etc, but if you really know those people and work with them, even you'll know that's farfetched and each day you will be wondering if you are next. Daxko definitely has a motto, hire slow and fire fast. They've fired people that have dedicated their lives to the company for years in an instant. They lack transparency. They want to be "the most loved" by their customers but it seems to come at the sacrifice of treating their own employees like they are expendable. They have hired and fired left and right, letting go some amazing people that have been with the company x amount of years, doesnt matter if you joined 7 years ago or 7 minutes ago no one is exempt. If you work here, you may be gambling with your career. My sincere advice, look elsewhere. If you interview and something seems off, trust yourself. This company used to be great and used to mean something, but from an employees perspective and opinion, its almost unrecognizable. The only word I can think of is disappointed. Extremely extremely at a loss for words for the pure disruption this company has caused in some of their employees personal lives this year. There are far better opportunities in the world with better transparency, and greater leadership. If you are undecided, trust your instincts. I imagine a generic response will appear below to counter this review, you can choose to drink from the fountain, or not.

Generic response incoming! Thank you so much for taking time to leave this very thorough review, and for your kind words on the amazing people we have working here at Daxko. I also appreciate your frank feedback on what we could be doing better. We want to be the most loved by our customers and team members alike, and we recognize the great talent we have in Birmingham, Houston, Denver, and now Chicago and across Missouri. None of our business decisions are impulsive; rather, they are thoughtfully and thoroughly considered, and there are some decisions that are never easy to make but are necessary to grow. I hope you are enjoying what you're pursuing in your career now! Know that you can always reach out to me personally if you ever want to share more feedback. -Janna

Pros

How much time do you have? I would highly suggest looking at the company careers page. Benefits: I've worked for several different employers and these are by far the best benefits I've had. For medical, I pay less for far more coverage, the time off earnings are extremely competitive and then there are things like Professional Development allowance, the time off associated with conducting professional development, and Sabbatical. Free Friday Lunch is amazing. There are also lots of hidden perks that come with the territory. It took a few weeks before I even discovered all the benefits. Work Space: Standing desks, coffee machines, stocked cooler, open and creative work environments, themed demo rooms. I often have to keep myself reminded of how unique our office is so I don't simply get used to it. Culture & People: Transparency here is no joke. You will get direct insight into how the company runs, how the financials are looking, and what you can do to make a direct impact. The sense of ownership is strong and people know what they need to do to make a difference. We don't have departments at Daxko, we have Teams. In my short time so far at Daxko, I have built great relationships and know I have someone to count on at work. In my experience, that is rare. The opportunities for growth are here, the recognition and rewards are for the taking. The environment is fast pasted, imposes new challenges each day, and always keeps me on my toes. I wouldn't have it any other way.

Cons

The learning curve can be steep. At times you might feel overwhelmed or at a loss as to how to move forward in your role. If you're intimidated by change or not ready to get out of your comfort zone, this is probably not "it" for you.

Pros

The free coffee was nice.

Cons

Management thought everyone at our station was replaceable, and there was no reward whatsoever for doing better or extra work.
