Pros

As others have commented, decent benefits (nothing fancy), flex time is recognized and some folks are pleasant to work with.

Cons

No recognition for folks who actually do the work, at least far and few between. Watch for "idea stealers" as some will take your work and claim as their own. As a "newbie" in your dept. (at least IT anyway) expect to be given the "crap" nobody wants. You may find what you were hired to do may not be "actually" what you "get" to work on.

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.
