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.  
• A Christmas Event Like No Other, legendary for a reason; traditions, surprises and the kind of magic only Jaxon can pull off. AND a Kids’ Christmas Celebration that brings out the joy, the crafts, and the wide-eyed wonder of the season. 
• 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.   

All the good times we talk about are here to build connection, not obligations. Participation is always optional, because ownership includes owning your time and your comfort level.
