Hi. Our values and our people drive our success, for sure! And the company’s leaders take seriously their responsibility to build a better future for the next generation, and sometimes that requires additional thought and consensus to make sure the strategy is sound. That approach has led to strong business growth for the company as our revenue last year reached $20 billion. Thank you for the time you took to share a review, and for being a valued employee for more than 10 years.

Pros

Cox Enterprises is an extremely good company and is very generous to their employees when it comes to benefits and basically a great place to work. The Company itself is very ethical and has the best intentions to radiate high ethical standards and loyalty to their employees, and customers/clients.

Cons

Unfortunately, this is not the case at too many of their Cox Automotive Manheim locations. Vehicles are going through presale inspections and being failed by the mechanics, then management demands that the inspection be changed to passed. They also do this when a customer buys a vehicle and gets a post sale inspection. The mechanics will fail them, and management will instruct the Mechanic department managers to change the inspection result to passed. This is done for some of their high volume dealers that bring terrible cars to Manheim to Auction them off. The dealers are unethical, but are making a lot of money for Manheim. The GMs at the auctions are turning their heads and knowingly allowing this to happen at the expense of the buyers purchasing the vehicles and the integrity of the mechanics that are rightfully failing the vehicles.

Pros

I worked at COX from home for over 11 years. Working from home comes with disadvantages and being overlooked for promotion. I received a merit increase each year. I topped out at the pay scale for call center employees and was fine until...

Cons

Tenured Call Center employees like myself reach the maximum pay range due to annual merit increases. The Company began trimming higher-ups and laid off top wage earners so that younger kids can be hired do the job at far less pay I and 4 other tenured employees were laid off for questionable reasons and the State made COX pay for unemployment wages. I was not offered a severance package. The company seems to be greedy in this way and cuts all benefits the day your are laid off so you are suddenly uninsured and left in the cold.
