I’ve been at Daxko for a few months now, and it’s been a great experience so far. I came to the company from the hectic retail world, where I rarely got a full weekend or holiday off. Even though Daxko life is busy and we work hard, I’m grateful to now have much more stability in my life. In fact, my life is stable enough for a dog now! I’m the proud owner of a black lab puppy named Samson, and I spend most of my weekends hanging out with him and taking him to the park.

One of my favorite Daxko events that has happened so far was our Spring Impact Day back in May. My team helped clean up the Lakeshore Trail right outside the office, and it was a great bonding experience; I got to talk to people I don’t have the chance to talk to on a day to day basis. My team also had a fun get-together at Colby’s house when I was still very new in my role. This was a good opportunity to meet everyone on the team and just hang out outside of the office.

Have there been challenges in the first few months? Of course. The most difficult thing for me has been picking up everything that goes into the Customer Success Advocate role. It’s not just answering customer questions about our software – we have to learn the software first. Our customers hold us to high standards and expect all of Customer Success to know our stuff regardless of our tenure. Fortunately, everyone on my team is willing to help and answer questions. Along with challenges, there have already been opportunities for me to take ownership. I worked closely with our Solutions Analyst team on a sales tax project that was crucial to our Kentucky customers’ operations to ensure the Customer Success team was prepared. This was a great opportunity for me to take charge of a task, and I’m grateful to my team lead for entrusting me with it.

My job has been everything I thought it would be, and more.

And Daxko as a company lives up to my expectations. I appreciate the transparency, how the company gives team members a voice, and how our culture is inclusive.

It’s definitely unlike anything I’ve ever been part of before, and I am enjoying every minute.
