Hi, and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts! First, we're glad to hear that you're enjoying your employee benefits like PTO and family leave; and we want to make sure to address your concerns as well... Here at Cox, we strive to foster a warm, welcoming environment where everyone can contribute and thrive, not just select "cliques." We're also committed to helping managers establish trust with their direct reports and to compensating employees fairly and generously for their talent. Without knowing the details of your concerns, the resolution we can offer here on Glassdoor is limited; so we recommend that you set up time with your manager, mentor or HR business partner to address your concerns and find resolution. Best wishes!
