Pros

Benefits are ok, base salary is ok also

Cons

Change and flexibility is always needed in business but at this company it's like a revolving wheel that never stops, they'll try anything, often half cocked initiatives w/out much forethought, then they look for scapegoats after it fails. Management fearful to put their name on anything that may come back to haunt them, even small stuff that makes sense to do.

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.
