Pros

AutoTrader Classics is a division of AutoTrader which is a Cox owned company. Great benefits. If you can start on the classics side and jump to the mother ship you are going to be happy.

Cons

The fact that they had to lay off most of their staff because of lousy business decisions over the past 3 years is the biggie.

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.
