Pros

They provide great benefits including very minimal employee cost insurance and a no cost pension plan. You also have a lot of freedom with your schedule.

Cons

Commission has dropped dramatically and the company has been very slow to react to changing market conditions. Depending on the manager they can micro manage you to insanity.

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.
