Pros

Cox has incredible employees. Being able to assist our front line agents with their calls and taking over difficult calls provides great value for front line agents.

Cons

Cox started using Sentiment Analytics AI software that measures emotions in customer and agent voices as a metric on the scorecard. Since this software wasn't built for this purpose, it is misuse of the software and has led to discrimination by AI. The end result is that agents are being told they have to "improve" their sentiment scores to remain employed; however, the agents literally have no control over this and have been receiving disciplinary actions for no good reason. This has led to legitimate mental health issues among agents who have been victimized by this discrimination.

Pros

I had a great experience and benefitted from great leadership, progressive growth opportunities, and exceptional colleagues. The company cares about its employees, and offers exceptional benefits.

Cons

The recent news of the merger (ok, let's be honest...acquisition) by Charter has many people worried about the future and preparing for the worst. There will undoubtedly be cultural changes and I know many people will be frustrated by the new norm.

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.
