Pros

Nearly free cable and internet are nice. Health insurance package is decent compared to similar jobs elsewhere. Several weeks of paid vacation every year is nice. Cox is a diverse employer- it has an extremely promising variety in its work force. Pay grades at Cox are very competitive.

Cons

*Cox management tell employees they are listening to feedback but seem to rarely put the ideas to use. *Employees who submit complaints to management about their concerns regarding work conditions and job responsibilities do not seem to last very long in technical support. *Cox does not guarantee breaks to front line employees in Oklahoma at least- if an employee misses a break helping customers they are expected to let it go. *Paid vacation is nice but it also doubles as sick time so it can sometimes be hard to take a vacation if you spend very much time at all sick. *In recent years the tech call center seems to never have enough employees to take the call volume and work load being required of them- resulting ultimately in very long hold times for customers. *As a company Cox promotes an image as the customer's "friend" but it is hard to support that image as a front line employee when the company spends a lot up front to get a customer but once that initial sale is made doesn't offer many good choices to trying to keep them.

Pros

Learned alot with 20+ years with the company, fun place to work, meet great people, Awesome pay.

Cons

Management will throw you under the bus to save themselves, will not stick up for employees, supervisor yelling at team meetings, slamming things around and acting childish. Best micromanager out there.
