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

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.
