Pros

Affordable healthcare, somewhat flexible PTO and friendly co-workers. These are the main things keeping any decent talent at Daxko.

Cons

The new CEO has a child-like ego that cannot handle criticism, so he has surrounded himself with yes-men and women. The general corporate philosophies and antiquated policies enacted under him make me question the quality of education coming out of Princeton University. These policies are creating a culture of Haves and Havenots. Leadership team and HR have become puppets that cannot think for themselves. Typical corporate politics have begun to set it.

Thank you for pointing out some of the benefits of working at Daxko. Don’t forget about the referral program with bonuses ranging $2,500 - $7,500, 4-week paid sabbatical every 5 years of employment, and great office space! Our senior leadership team makes decisions based on facts and data. Specifically, our CEO has implemented a documentation process that requires reviewing each situational assessment and supporting data before making any significant business decision. We are implementing policies and philosophies to establish the company as we grow and that will scale with multiple locations and products. As we shared in our presentation of team member engagement survey results with the entire company, when feedback is received, we are willing to adjust as needed for the betterment of the whole. We encourage you to share your constructive feedback directly with a leader, People Development team, at a round table or a fireside chat with Ron, the CEO.

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.
