Pros

There is schedule flexibility for appointments/family emergencies.

Cons

Team leads are on average two years older/younger than you, and do not have the experience needed to serve a leadership position. The overall culture encourages immature behavior in the workplace. People get caught up in the politics often, causing a tense and negative work environment. Most will combat the comments on the immaturity of it all, by saying Daxko is a great stepping stone for your career. No, I absolutely disagree. I would not recommend this company to any young professionals out there; get your experience elsewhere. After all the hype and everything I head about Daxko, I am so disappointed. These two years were the biggest regret of my entire career.

Hi there - thank you so much for this honest review. I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience during your time at Daxko. I did want to address your comment about team leads: while we do have several young team leads here, we provide many opportunities for leadership development that are required for anyone in a leadership position. An important piece of our mission is to help provide rewarding careers to our team members, and I'm sorry you didn't feel you received this. If there is anything else specific you'd like to let me know, please feel free to reach out to me personally. Best of luck in the future! -Janna

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.
