Pros

Work life balance is great. Peers are great as well.

Cons

Not only are the pay plans very confusing but they change them up frequently. As a salesperson it is hard to work your pay plan with it always changing or if you don't understand it. HUGE disconnect with upper management and the team on the front lines. Hardest part of the job is dealing with your own company.

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.
