The Jaxon Experience:

• Jaxon Kitchen Fridays, our end-of-week tradition where the team gathers for good food, good company, and a chance to unwind the work week together.
• Annual Golf Tournament that brings out everyone’s competitive spirit; pros, rookies, and “I’m just here for the cart snacks” people alike.

• Super Bowl Party because friendly rivalry, good food, and loud cheering are practically part of our job description. And of course, the day after the super bowl is a company paid holiday, because we believe in recovery, rest, and reliving the best plays and commercials.
