Pros

Medical and 401k, Salary with low commission variable, constantly changing environment

Cons

Removed the pension plan, losing business fast because they haven't listened to dealers or the employees. Leadership in the West are all Jr executives with a chip on their shoulders. Treat employees poorly. Constantly pointing the finger at the employees for the short comings of the company.

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.
