Pros

Pay is fair Benefits are just OK, not greatest but not the worst I've seen either Facilities/environment are well kept

Cons

Limited healthcare plan options in comparison to other large companies VERY limited work-from-home options Senior Management has no vision. They have ideas, but no vision. Two different things. Witness: Cox Wireless debacle Content to go along with the industry instead of being a leader in it. 80% IT personnel turn over, contractors rotate through every six months so we get actual production of 5 months and then it takes another month for the new contractor coming in to catch up "Be nice" culture at Cox impedes actually getting things done.

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.
