Pros

Cox has probably one of the best compensation/total rewards offerings. Their Atlanta campus is beautiful and with many amenities. Work space is very nice. Some people are great and worth keeping a relationship with. The Cox family truly cares for the well-being of their employees and they showed It during the pandemic.

Cons

This organization has great values at the top level but that is were the leadership stops. Culture is cut throat and there is a lot of incompetence at the Senior and Executive leadership. They don’t know what they want and direction is constantly changing impacting people’s roles. No clear separation of responsibilities, no strategy, and very poor vision. Project are more like throw spaghetti on the wall and see what sticks approach. Some leaders use their positions to abuse power. No wonder same roles open every few months. Beware of job postings that are filled and reposted every few months. They are always recruiting to refill the same jobs. Worse culture ever.

Pros

Benefits are good. PTO Day 1.

Cons

No advancement opportunity. They claim they hire internally, but they don't seem to adhere to that. Out of nowhere, hours were cut from 40 hours to 32 for our particular shift due to "business needs". However it seems like we are rarely caught up at the end of the night. The same position on another shift did not lose nearly as many hours. Then, there was a location wide meeting where they bragged about record sales and record profits. Seems pretty insensitive to do in front of employees who lost over 20% of their pay. The manager comes off as completely harsh and rude. When you fill out a survey stating facts, they are met with a dismissive tone followed by, "you know this is not true". Training is non existent. Other underpaid employees have to train you so it's like a game of telephone where the training contains just a little less information or a little more incorrect information each time. Pay for other positions in the organization is below average. When applying for those positions internally, they want to base pay on your current role instead of based on qualifications for the job being offered. There is a pay range listed for jobs, don't expect to get anywhere near the top and you are LUCKY to see the middle of that range. Pay raises are not anywhere near inflation rates, so if you stay more than a year you are losing money.
