Pros

Decent benefits working for Cox

Cons

Leadership void. Current president lacks experience or voice. Has been silent and mostly absent through pandemic. Ops vice president Lisa Mackie panders to her friends at the detriment to all others. Their lack of leadership caused the pandemic to be worse then it should have been. Then when they had to lay off individuals they layed of those with 10+ years of experience so Lisa could hand pick the individuals she wanted. There was no fairness to the way it was handled and borderline discriminatory in how they chose the individuals.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced Cox Automotive, like many companies, to make difficult decisions around its organizational structure. Our commitments to our clients, a sustainable business model, and to a fair and equal work environment drove our decision making, but we nevertheless regret the impact these hard choices have had on some of our valued employees and their families. We want to do the right thing and so, we encourage anyone who feels they have been treated unfairly to contact the Cox Ethics Hotline at 877-329-0696 or www.coxethicsline.ethicspoint.com.

Pros

Best benefits you can find. A lot of opportunity to make an impact. Very conscientious of work-life balance.

Cons

Small company under a much larger umbrella, sometimes makes it hard for leaders to act as they think they should when constrained by bureaucratic processes.

Pros

Working with dealers and a few quality peers

Cons

How to destroy a top company in a year. Look at this one. Hire clueless, incompetent leaders who micromanage and lead by fear and punishment. Look to check boxes instead of what real success looks like. I have never seen such horrible leadership destroy such a wonderful company in my life. That goes for lending, operations, and sales. The fish rots from the head down. Time for new everything. But this time, find someone qualified. A plumber can't fix your computer. Do you get it yet? Or still scratching your head why so many people are running out the door.
