Pros

great benefits, supportive manager whom no longer works there either. If you are a male and a good politician, autotrader.com is the place for you.

Cons

glass ceiling for females. Good olde boys mentality. Lots of dating within the company. Has a shark type attitude towards the car dealers. One dealer told me that the only solution to a problem at or with autotrader is to sell the dealer 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.
