Cox Automotive reviews

The company does not have clear strategic direction and management is not on the same page. As a result you have constant change in direction. For example in less than one year objectives changed several times and there were several MAJOR reorganizations. Just as soon as we figured out what was going on it changed. Also the organization is so layered that we spent most of our time in meetings. Most real work got done after hours. You will spend 10+ hours a day working at Cox Auto. There is unprecedented favoritism and significant biases were observed. It is a highly competitive environment where managers work hard to protect their position and others are rewarded for supporting them in doing so. Middle management tends to be rather unseasoned.

Poorly Managed Poor Senior Leadership Lack of Vision Inability to Execute Acquisitions have hindered ability to stay in line with competition Us vs Them mentality, internally Customers have multiple salespeople calling on them which causes confusion and irritation by clients Fragmented Go To Market Strategy; causing confusion with clients and internal resources Lack of Managerial fortitude for change Recent 3% RIF caused by a mysterious $100MM Expense Overrun, which was only discovered or at least communicated in March/April timeframe. Resulting in a poor bonus payout, horrible morale, confusion by many, lack of wanting to do your best; wondering when the next RIF is coming (seems to be every 2 years).
