Pros

Great co-workers. Create your own schedule. Good benefits.

Cons

Those putting in the most work will not always be rewarded and you can look forward to being a number on a spreadsheet. This company has totally forgotten about the employees that helped build it to what it is today. 6-7 years ago people were "bleeding orange", excited to be part of something. You don't see that same excitement anywhere today. Today you so fear, confusion, distrust, and burnout.

Pros

Generally the benefits are good, but are declining. The head of CoxEnterprises believes in employee empowerment and benefits. The values of CEI are wonderful and the reason I stay.

Cons

Current leadership over AutoTrader (CAI) prioritizes profits over all else so we have reorganizations every year or so making it an unstable environment. The company is now run by Finance and HR, so you can imagine the culture.
