Pros

Discounted services, cheap insurance and the pay is still good for someone new to the company. The hours of operation are not too bad for a call center.

Cons

Before the change to the coe's, Cox was an outstanding localized company. I never experienced the "call center" vibe before the change. Now they have turned into a micro-managing, typical call center mentality, and have a lot of politics in the center. The money was absolutely amazing before the transition and now every time you turn around the bonus structure is falling lower and lower. The potential was around 4k for an above average rep and now you're lucky if you get 2k for the month's stats. Change is inevitable but when it comes to pay and your numbers excel month after month you shouldn't experience a 50% deduction within a year of what you earned prior. I had to leave because the money made the stress of the department worth it before, now everything is being micro managed. There are double the amount of stats you have to keep track of, increasingly harder number's to hit and instead of allowing us to get paid for the additional work we are punished by lowering normal bonus pay outs significantly.

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.
