Pros

Health benefits are top-notch. DISCOUNTED services. Start at home(saves on gas).

Cons

When I started working for Cox in 2006, it was a relaxed environment. You could do your job and not feel like you had people looking over your shoulder. Techs were relaxed and could take time to ensure customers were treated properly. If you got a job done early you could go to lunch early and not get a phone-call about it. Now, there's GPS in all vehicles. Every step you take is monitored andTechs are continually expected to do more with less and less time. I get times are rough, but it is no longer about taking care of the customer, its about squeezing an extra dollar out of the customer. This company owned by Two wonderfull ladies has become a money monger. If you have a choice, do not work for this company. Like myself, many people are leaving the company they once loved to work at, to find a new place. A friend of mine left after 28 years because it was too stressful. He no longer loved his job. Do not walk in the doors of the this place expecting to leave work feeling fullfilled. If a high-stress, low-return environment where you are constantly expected to do MORE MORE MORE is what you want out of life, then this is the place for you. I wouldn't be suprised if this last Employee Opinion Survey is the last they ever do. The ship is sinking.

Pros

I had a great experience and benefitted from great leadership, progressive growth opportunities, and exceptional colleagues. The company cares about its employees, and offers exceptional benefits.

Cons

The recent news of the merger (ok, let's be honest...acquisition) by Charter has many people worried about the future and preparing for the worst. There will undoubtedly be cultural changes and I know many people will be frustrated by the new norm.

Pros

Great work/life balance, culture and benefits. Work from home. Unlimited PTO.

Cons

Merging with Charter this year. If I still have a job after the merger, I'll be losing unlimited PTO, WFH, culture and who knows about work/life balance. Some may be asked to move to CT. At the end of 2024 the company offered a generous VSP. Knowing the upcoming severance packages we may be offered by Charter, some of us feel betrayed.
