Pros

Nice HQ features and location.

Cons

Too many former ATT employees creeping in to the company creating a cultural shift. From what used to a laid back friendly environment the company is becoming an oppressive institution with countless pointless meetings, red tape and office politics of all sorts. Just watch the "Office Space" one more time to get an idea.

Pros

Cox provides adequate training. If you work for one of the good managers they will help you grow and learn within the organization. ...

Cons

Cox Communications used to be a great place to work....a family like atmosphere. Unfortunately as the initial managers and directors began to retire most of the newer management was hired in as a "who you know" and not based on skill or experience...Most managers have that micro manage mentality. If they don't like you, you can best just pack your bags because they will make your work life horrible and then terminate you without a second thought...because they can. So sad.

Pros

1) compensation is great 2) Work/life balance

Cons

1) The company has lost its way and there are no signs that will change anytime soon. There is no company strategy that is being pursued. 2) There has been almost a complete turnover in upper management which has created chaos.
