Pros

The compensation and benefits were good. There are also a lot of good people that work for the company. Opportunity to travel to interesting US locations.

Cons

Management won't step up to the plate and do the right thing to fix problems in the company. They are all too worried about protecting their bonuses and their turf to stir things up enough to make things right. The stress level is very high. Especially for middle management. The Human Resources department has been played up in the press to be one of the best in the industry. they were basically useless during my tenure. Issues with problem employees could not properly be resolved because HR would not step in and provide the assistance necessary to either reprimand or dismiss the problem employee.

Hi, thank you for sharing a review! We're glad to know that you enjoy the flexibility, work-life balance and employee benefits that a career at Cox offers, and that you would recommend Cox as an employer. Cox's footprint and cross-industry impact do frequently necessitate agility with change, but we strive to offer a workplace experience that has the stability of a large company with the friendly community and innovation culture of a startup. And while our impact continues to grow, our values and mission remain the same: across our family of businesses, we're building a better future. We hope you feel that to be the case.

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.
