Business Outlook
Pros
Work from home, benefits were strong. Fairly autonomous work environment. Well known company within the industry.
Cons
Autotrader is no longer the market leader in 3rd party value and the services charged to top dealers is sometimes 10x what the market leader charges those same dealers. The new market leader has disrupted the 3rd party market to an extent that makes Autotrader almost irrelevant to both dealers and younger shoppers. The current status of Autotrader's value to dealers is a direct result of the poor vision and ever changing leadership at the top over the last 4-5 years. Parent company is focusing on other more lucrative higher margin/growth segments within the vast Cox Automotive portfolio.
