Pros

Employee benefits Salary They embrace the Hybrid and remote models where applicable. They buy lots of sub-companies on a yearly basis They have a long-term vision

Cons

Make sure the company you are applying within COX is sustainable, and has been in business for a while. The Politics game is a must. They close down companies and fire employees on a regular basis, they provide good severance packages to keep employees at ease. They encourage you to apply from within, but their internal HR system is garbage. Tons of employees moving around constantly (Big Red Flag). They play the inclusion, and employee support game as they see fit, but in reality, they do have very unrealistic goals and can be explosive when it comes to making drastic decisions.

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.
