Pros
I am a District Sales Manager in the West Division and do not agree with the prior assertion that our VP is a bully. Amanda McCord is direct and sets the bar high; who wouldn't want that in a VP? She is fair and honest, and does a fine job walking that very difficult line between advocating for her people and advocating for the organization. I have found her to be empathetic and supportive, and also to have high expectations for the people who report up line to her. Cox Automotive has very open channels for addressing and resolving grievances, and it's my opinion that bringing the fight to social media, if your real goal is to resolve outstanding frustrations (rather than to malign someone personally), is a mistake. I do not share the opinions of our VP, and would feel comfortable addressing her in person if I had differences of opionion with her.
