Pros

Above avg pay. That is about it.

Cons

Absolutely unorganized. No support for management. No training for management. The bonus program is not clearly outlined. Most managers received less than half of what they were earning previously. The company has completely lost sight of what got them to where they are today.

Cox Fleet Response

Thank you for taking the time to write this review. We have always welcome comments from current and former employees, and over the years have been provided with some great feedback on how we can better serve our customers and employees. In 2018 we conducted our first ever employee engagement survey, and the response was fantastic. We had over 65% of our employees take the time to provide their input , and the number one request from our employees was they wanted more training. So your comments on our lack of training is heard loud and clear. To address this, we moved our training initiatives under the leadership of Mike Davis, our VP of Human Resources and Talent Acquisition, and created the position of Director of Training, and promoted Christopher March into that role. We will be more focused on the training needs of all of our employees in 2018, and have the leadership in place to deliver on that promise. In regards to compensation opportunities above and beyond salaries, it is, and always has been based on the individual performance of the manager. I can assure you that our best performing managers max out their compensation every year; and our under-performing managers , in some cases, receive less than half of what they were earning previously. We continuously look for ways to challenge our management team, raise the bar on expectations every year, and recognize and reward our best performers. For 21 years we have been a technician focused company. We don't sell, rent, or lease trucks. We're not a trucking or delivery company. All we do is truck maintenance. Everything we do is focused around making our technicians more successful, which in turn provides our customers with Maintenance Excellence. I am always open to talk to current and former employees on how we can make them more successful. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you would like to discuss in more detail.

Pros

You will appreciate the people in your life who are good honest people more because of how poorly you will be treated.

Cons

The management in the NY market is terrible. If you want to use PTO that has been approved it depends on if the manager feels like it or not. Your significant other is going to be out of work for serious surgery and you want to use PTO so that you can pay your bills? Well too bad your manager didnt feel like it good luck with that late fee. Tell your manager a family member died unexpextedly and horrifically? Youll hear its part of life happens to everyone and a sigh because you are taking time off for a funeral. Expecting company supplied tools to be company supplied? Well quit being cheap is what my manager said to me over a 1200$ purchase. You have to get approval from your manager? Maybe he will get back to you maybe he will ignore you for an entire month. Hired for first shift but will be expected to work into the night and when you set a boundary that you weren't hired to work at night you'll be told that maybe you aren't the right fit for this job. If you think the amount of PTO in the job posting looks nice or the company supplied uniforms, laundering service, bonuses, or career development, company discounts well just keep scrolling because they're not telling the truth atleast for NY employees who arent over at their managers house for dinner. Cons include the management in NY.
