Pros

Cox Automotive is doing such exciting work in the automotive business. We are truly transforming the way the world buys sells and owns cars. I love that we are privately held which means we aren't answering to shareholders every 90 days. This lets us make decisions that may not pay off immediately, but are the right thing to do. It is a 4th generation family company and all 34,000 team members feel like family. When I was applying for the job 10 years ago, I ran across a couple who both worked for different Cox Companies. They told me that they had no plans of ever leaving Cox. I'm so glad I met them. I sure did make the right decision.

Cons

We are going from a house of brands to a branded house. There is a lot of movement in the company as we simplify how we go to market. This leads to some change exhaustion, but I do see the future getting clearer and clearer.

Pros

Benefits are good. PTO Day 1.

Cons

No advancement opportunity. They claim they hire internally, but they don't seem to adhere to that. Out of nowhere, hours were cut from 40 hours to 32 for our particular shift due to "business needs". However it seems like we are rarely caught up at the end of the night. The same position on another shift did not lose nearly as many hours. Then, there was a location wide meeting where they bragged about record sales and record profits. Seems pretty insensitive to do in front of employees who lost over 20% of their pay. The manager comes off as completely harsh and rude. When you fill out a survey stating facts, they are met with a dismissive tone followed by, "you know this is not true". Training is non existent. Other underpaid employees have to train you so it's like a game of telephone where the training contains just a little less information or a little more incorrect information each time. Pay for other positions in the organization is below average. When applying for those positions internally, they want to base pay on your current role instead of based on qualifications for the job being offered. There is a pay range listed for jobs, don't expect to get anywhere near the top and you are LUCKY to see the middle of that range. Pay raises are not anywhere near inflation rates, so if you stay more than a year you are losing money.
