Pros

Work hours are fairly reasonable

Cons

Most of the staff are lifers, and there's a clear treatment difference between those with pensions and those that aren't. So many individual teams that silo what they own and brick wall and punt responsibility. My own manager openly lies, is very mood driven, and is very untrustworthy but it's ok when observed by his manager. There's a very clear of morals and it's very rampant Overall the staff is very old fashioned and any diversity is minimal. White men rule, and while I'm openly gay I would never bring it up at work bc it would be weaponized in some way by opportunists. Stay away

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.
