Pros

This is an amazing company to work for. I am currently going through something tough medically and the leadership has been so supportive. The VP Amanda McCord has been especially supportive. There are not many companies out there that look out for their employees the way Cox/AutoTrader does. Most managers wouldn't encourage you to take more time to heal. Usually they want to know how quickly you will come back. Ms. McCord isn't even my direct manager. She is 3 levels above me and still took the time to make sure to offer to help in any way. We make our own schedule, have lots of paid time off, great pay, and supportive leadership. There are high expectations, but I understand them. Of course this is somewhat in response to a previous review. I feel it is important to know many employees' perspective.

Cons

There are a lot of changes coming that will cause some growing pains. For the right person this is an exciting time, but it is a lot to handle.

Pros

Generally the benefits are good, but are declining. The head of CoxEnterprises believes in employee empowerment and benefits. The values of CEI are wonderful and the reason I stay.

Cons

Current leadership over AutoTrader (CAI) prioritizes profits over all else so we have reorganizations every year or so making it an unstable environment. The company is now run by Finance and HR, so you can imagine the culture.
