Pros

Benefits, company vehicle, work from home, decent pay in small market.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations, over priced and not delivering the value that dealers want. Continue to ram stats down dealers throats rather than finding the happy medium between what the dealer wants and what the consumer wants. Pay plan changes annually, sometimes semi-annually and usually for the worse. Environment of fear and retaliation.

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.
