Pros

Large enough company to basically support economic swings, but too focused on perceived numbers rather than actual sales and subscriber projections.

Cons

Revolving door of middle management - no consistency in policy from region to region. In 2 years, I've seen 9 directors fired, demoted or leave in just one location. Compare that to 4 years ago when there was only 1 director that left. This is not about performance, it's about politics and the ever-changing VP regimes and local managing directors. There is a new one of either approximately every 9 months and they install the non-performing management from their previous system. Esser can't see this and it's a significant factor in low employee morale, increased turnover, and subscriber churn.

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

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.
