Pros

Coworkers are awesome, people are helpful and friendly

Cons

Daxko used to be a great place to work. In 2019, communication from leadership has dried up. Companies need to focus on profit, but Daxko seems to have decided that profit is the only thing that matters, and employees are feeling that change.

Thank you for your review. We agree that we have some pretty awesome people as teammates throughout the company. It is our people that make our culture and our product so amazing. We’re surprised to hear that you feel communication has “dried up” recently. In the near past you should have seen surveys from leadership requesting your feedback on frequency and content of our weekly and quarterly all hands meetings in the Birmingham office. I hope you provided your feedback. Daxko also conducts a company-wide All Hands meeting on a monthly basis to share information but as you can imagine we can’t address everything during that meeting. Other forms of communication include regular communication lunches with Senior Leadership Team members, roundtable discussions with the People Development Team and fireside chats with Ron, our CEO. As we grow as a company, we will continue to scale our communications to ensure everyone is informed. If you haven’t already shared your ideas in one of the avenues above, please reach out directly to the People Development Team or any member of the Senior Leadership Team.

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.
