Pros

Some of the reps are fantastic people

Cons

Very sad place to be by the time I resigned. They had people going out on stress leave right and left. They over work you and basically cut the pay yearly to the point where people were worried about losing their homes and feeding families. The management would warn AC's by telling them, "you will never find anything better than this job." I can promise you that I have found something better! It was a great place to be in the Chip Perry days, but unfortunately those days are long gone:( I feel sad for my friends that are still there and want to tell them, they can and will find something else!

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.
