Pros

Great Benefits such as 401k match

Cons

I would really think twice before taking a job at Cox Automotive. My entire team is currently looking for new work as there is no opportunity for advancement in the corporate office. There has been nothing but layoffs at the analyst and manager level while nothing changes with Director and above leadership. This has resulted in the remaining employees being asked to do more and more work with less and less suport. Director and VP level positions are mostly nepotism hires. Cox Automotive is not about innovation or growth.

Pros

Competitive pay, benefits and bonuses.

Cons

It is a great company and as such there exists over communication; however, I’m not sure how they get past “too much” communication.

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.
