Pros

If you are a millennial- this is your place! It will be like getting to be in your college sorority or frat all over again! I bet they will even have a secret knock and handshake soon! But fair warning- don’t look to learn from mentors and leadership because they won’t know any more than you! Lol!

Cons

Oh, I don’t know —maybe age discrimination? The CEO said it best himself in one of his Friday morning meetings- “we are testing purposely to find those that are young and smart so we can pay them less.” Which is fine for new hires. But firing people and replacing with 20 year olds is age discrimination and is exactly what they have been doing for the last year. With a laughable severance — Daxko makes you sign your life away not to sue the company for age discrimination or post blasphemy on social media sites... dangling a small severance over your head—- don’t sue, and you will get this. Of course most cave because they have kids’ mouths to feed at home. And yes, us employees know because you have fired our friends and they are honest with us and want us to know what kind of company we are working for. Sitting ducks we are- wondering who is next, wishing we had never come here, and hoping we can find something else before we are the next to go. Do yourself a favor, no matter how bad things are in your current position- this place is so much worse. Bad products, treating customers badly and only worried about the bottom line, That’s Daxko!

Hi! No attorneys or PR team here, but you're right about me responding with kindness. I appreciate you taking the time to leave this review and for sharing your frank feedback. If a company doesn't have both positive and negative reviews, I'd worry about its credibility! We don't try to hide the negative reviews, and the former and current team members who make positive comments here on Glassdoor aren't bribed to do so. You're right - Daxko is a great place for Millennials and Gen Z'ers who are just starting out in their careers. We have more than these age groups at Daxko, though, and we welcome hires from all backgrounds and experiences. I also want to address your comment about treating customers badly, because that's not who we are as a company. We treat customers with fairness and respect and will always do so. I hope your experience here at Daxko gets better. Please know that you can come talk to me anytime, in-person, via email, or on Slack. I'm not a leader, but I'm a listener, and I'd love the opportunity to learn more about your comments above. -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.
