Pros

Prior to 2012, Cox was a great company to work for. Up to date training, management treated employees well, and a general feeling of being a "valued employee". It felt more like a family among peers and supervisors. That is all gone now. Great opportunities to advance.

Cons

Since about 2 years ago, when the company started consolidating into the "Central Region", moral has gone down significantly. When asked about it, management started becoming very secretive with information, whereas before, there was more of an inclusive environment. No one seems to have that "OWN IT" attitude anymore, so there is no accountability. Dropping the ball happens on a daily basis...example: Ask anyone who has Cox how long the call hold times are. It's a joke. I mean really, do you think that having a tech sitting in your house waiting on hold for an hour, just to reset your box is acceptable??? This has been going on for 6 months now. Dish and At&t are looking a whole lot better.... BEWARE of discrimination* Cox says that they are diverse, but will turn a blind eye when you get singled out!

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

Good benefits, sometimes free food, equipment provided

Cons

Intense micromanaging, every second has to be logged. Everything is an upsell even when callers are asking for help. Agents will add things to accounts without customer knowledge just to make numbers. Unethical practices by agents especially overseas agents.
