Pros

Cox is a great company to work for and the folks in Atlanta are great to work with. Each system has the good and the bad and most of my experiences at NOVA were great. But be aware of the clicks within upper management.

Cons

The lack of vision from upper management when dealing with Verizon FIOS has crippled the system. The inability to be proactive when fighting the battle with FIOS has really hurt the entire system . Also if you are not part of the "all girl network" moving up the ranks is very difficult it is not about performance it is about who you buddy up with. The rules don't apply the same to every employee, their is leadership at the director level or higher that have only a high school education and no college yet if you or I applied for the job a college degree is required. Senior leadership seem more like cheerleaders than business executives. Several good business minds have been forced out because they did not cozy up to the right people.

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.

Pros

Great work/life balance, culture and benefits. Work from home. Unlimited PTO.

Cons

Merging with Charter this year. If I still have a job after the merger, I'll be losing unlimited PTO, WFH, culture and who knows about work/life balance. Some may be asked to move to CT. At the end of 2024 the company offered a generous VSP. Knowing the upcoming severance packages we may be offered by Charter, some of us feel betrayed.
