Great company with excellent benefits, travel, fun outings, work from home

Cons

High pressure sales, unrealistic goals, in the south Autotrader is King it is not the same in the northeast and there are people who don't even know what autotrader is, and they're rates are way higher than the competitors and they leave the sales people out to dry with skewed numbers we couldn't explain

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.
