Pros

AutoTrader.com cares about it's employees. Insurance starts on the first day of employment. Paid time off for a new employee is good. A young and aggressive company. The new hires spend a total of four weeks in HQ training and getting to see the corporate office.

Cons

There is a lot of material that goes into learning the job. There is a feeling of being overwhelmed. Training in the off weeks needs to be consistent/structured throughout the company so new employees don't feel like they are out on an island. Goals are very aggressive.

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.
