Pros

They paint a nice picture of Cox as a company - they are great at providing excellent internet and cable to customers. People who stay in other roles do grow into many possibilities. They have decent awards that they have to give their retention team in order to keep anyone on this role. Many of the hourly employees are super nice and hard-working people.

Cons

The job is unsustainable - as clearly indicated by the ridiculously high attrition. You get all your PTO and sick days in one pot, which seems generous until you realize that you end up using your 2 days accrued each month just to survive the brutal work days, so when you need an actual vacation or sick leave, you don't have any days available to use. The team gets penalized for deceased customer accts and MOAs, and the hourly rate is so low, if you don't make your little bit of commission once a month, it's like you're working for nothing. Also, they don't place people in roles they're suited for - they just want ppl to fill the constant vacancies in attrition. Horrible and unhealthy role.

Pros

Learned alot with 20+ years with the company, fun place to work, meet great people, Awesome pay.

Cons

Management will throw you under the bus to save themselves, will not stick up for employees, supervisor yelling at team meetings, slamming things around and acting childish. Best micromanager out there.
