Pros

used to be pay but too many acquisitions and the now cutting jobs to save money

Cons

decisions made so high they don't understand impact on employees or dealer customers. pay used to be good until this year, they keep changing pay plans and paying out less and less. putting too much work on those that are in the field.

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.
