Pros

Cox is a company that tries to act in the best interest of their customers and employees. The CEO is the great-grandson of the founder and so far (at least up until the time I left) he appears to be adhering to those core values that make this a great company to work for

Cons

While the company overall is great there are certain departments I recommend staying away from within corporate if you are not a certain personality type. The environment is not designed for individuals who get ahead on work quality. You must actively work to build personal relationships with managers to get ahead. People are promoted more on their social graces than work abilities. Also, decision making is impacted by this because everyone is eager to please rather than provide thoughtful input.
