Pros

I was and still am loyal to this company even though I don't work for them anymore. They are very respectful of employees, have good benefits and more than competitive compensation. This was a great work experience because of my bosses who were more than competent in their jobs.

Cons

I had great leaders in my dept but overall, Execs here have big egos with questionable decisions behind them. Employee feedback about the direction of the company could have proved valuable when they started laying off 1 1/2 yrs ago. They got too big too fast and felt invincible.

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.
