Pros

unlimited PTO (up to 15 days, then it becomes monitored)

Cons

This company is in a cultural crisis. People are dropping like flies. They hold AMA sessions to give the appearance of transparency, but they condemn any questions that even slightly rock the boat. Rather than viewing these sessions as a chance to hold themselves accountable, the leaders take everything personally. They go to all means necessary to coerce our silent, obedient consent. I was so disheartened at the last AMA when human resources referred to questions about gender pay gap within the company as being a “waste of time.” When your senior leaders and human resources are making comments like this, you know it’s a problem. A lawsuit is likely imminent.

Daxko Response

Daxko has an array of great benefits including flexible paid time off. We ask for an additional level of approval after 15 days to ensure that all team members are taking advantage of this time to recharge plus, unfortunately, when it was not monitored, we had some people abuse the benefit. Your complaint about the Ask Me Anything (AMA) is a BIG misunderstanding. The same question had previously been asked and answered at a previous session immediately prior to the session being referenced. We think the confusion is that the response given was inviting the individual who asked the question to come talk to the CFO or any certified member of the People Development team if they wanted more details. We have held 10 AMAs in the last 90 days with senior leaders in (Birmingham, Chicago, Denver and Zoom for remote team members) and any suggestion that we are not open, transparent and accountable is simply not true. Although posting your grievance online does get a response, we suspect it is not particularly helpful. Why don’t you meet with the CFO or the People Team to discuss your views and questions in detail? To remove all doubt, we do not tolerate discrimination whether it is on the basis of sex, race, national origin, color, age, religion, disability, pregnancy, or any other legally protected characteristic. In addition, Daxko prohibits discriminatory treatment of individuals on the basis of their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. If you know of any situation or instance that concerns you, you are obligated to immediately bring it to the attention of a senior leader or the people team. To help ensure we maintain a safe work environment, we have annual mandatory training on Respect in the Workplace addressing discrimination, harassment and respect.

Pros

Most people care a lot. And try to make the best of the miserable environment.

Cons

The culture is toxic from the top down. Leadership creates an environment of constant chaos, shifting priorities, and little accountability, leaving employees to absorb the consequences. Management by fear is accepted and, at times, seems to be embraced. The company continues acquiring businesses with little apparent planning for how those acquisitions will be integrated into the broader organization. Rather than building scalable processes first, existing teams are simply expected to absorb additional work while already operating at capacity. The result is an organization that constantly feels reactive instead of intentional. Every day becomes another exercise in putting out fires while being criticized for failing to anticipate priorities that were never clearly communicated. Leadership struggles to establish, communicate, and execute on a coherent strategy, making it difficult to accomplish meaningful work or feel successful. Long-term planning consistently takes a back seat to constantly changing priorities. Concerns about leadership and workplace culture are raised, yet the same patterns continue. Employees are left feeling unsupported, overextended, and increasingly burned out while leadership appears insulated from the impact of its decisions.
