Pros

Reduced rate cable/internet services and a fair benefits package are the only redeeming qualities left at this organization.

Cons

Unethical management from the top down. Business decisions are often based on who the decision maker is in bed with. Mediocrity is rewarded and promoted. "Cox Values" and other catch phrases are used by all levels of management but their actions rarely conform to the "values" they spew. Not a results oriented company, ridiculous procedures are more important than results. Two good examples are their IT and Travel departments. Employees are viewed as a necessary yet expendable nuisance.
