Cox Automotive reviews

No issues with the organization

Politics, politics, politics. Revolving door for senior leaders. It is all about who "likes you" and nothing about performance. If you are at the director level or above, you have no job security. Mid managers are the fall guys for the senior execs. Do not expect a future in this organization unless you plan to stay at the lower levels where you don't get noticed. Reorgs constantly happening with no benefit. Seems to be how leaders get rid of people they don't "like." Executives (Sr. Director, VP level) just disappear under a vague cloud and no one knows why. Everyone is scared they'll be next. Employees know they should NEVER disagree with their boss or they'll be gone. Apparently no one goes to bat for good employees whose boss decides they don't like them even if they have a great track record. The people who survive are the ones with no backbones who don't even try to drive position change. I have watched the best people leave or be fired. Mediocrity remains. Pressure is to "get it done" with no regard for what the right "it" actually is. Lots of tasking, no strategy. Lack of leadership teaming across the businesses. Every leader driving their own agenda. HR is no help ... they have no credibility and are leading the reorg parade. Eventually it will become clear that the real problem is leadership. Brutal environment.
