Cox Enterprises Compensation & Benefits

Everyone has their own unique personality and allowing that to shine at work is important in making an employee feel valued and appreciated for who they are. That is what we are all about here at Cox.  

“Every month at my call center, we host Employee Engagement Days: one day each month when my team and I go to the office specifically to network and bond with our coworkers and leaders. We go all out on these days with special dress-up themes. One thing you should know about me: I love a good dress-up day because I can let my quirky, fun side shine! For example, in August, we had a back-to-school theme, and I dressed as Ms. Valerie Frizzle from The Magic School Bus — and it was a hit!”

Cox demonstrates a strong commitment to employee well-being by offering progressive benefits that support families during major life moments. Through generous parental leave policies, the company ensures employees have the time and support needed to bond with their families while maintaining career stability.

“As [my son] Sebastian’s due date drew closer, friends and family often asked me if I was going to be able to take any time off; they were always surprised when I shared that I could take up to eight weeks of paid paternity leave. Their reaction was further evidence about just how progressive Cox’s approach toward family leave and bonding time is, and how strongly the company prioritizes the well-being of team members across the organization.”

Cox doesn’t stop at offering standard benefits. The company provides all kinds of resources that make life easier for parents.

“I am grateful I work for a company that ensures parents have time to bond with their babies without career setbacks. Cox offers generous parental leave following birth, adoption or foster care placement. Expecting mothers going through childbirth receive at least eight weeks of paid short-term disability leave in addition to paid parental leave.”

What specifically does Cox offer? It starts with a generous suite of healthcare benefits with various deductible options. Adding onto that are free in-network women’s care, pharmacy benefits, telehealth offerings, FSA and HSA options, supplemental insurance, enhanced coverage for autism and developmental delays, coverage for gender confirmation surgery and more.

Cox also offers ongoing wellness benefits like free onsite health screenings and flu shots, programs to support weight loss and diabetes, counseling, healthy lifestyle coaching and free access to OpenFit and Headspace apps – the latter of which Rachelle found extremely beneficial during COVID-19.

“Working from home, I’ve needed a way to unwind at the end of the day and decompress. Headspace, particularly their relaxation and nighttime activities in the app, have been really helpful to help me reset and recharge ahead of the next day. That being offered as a benefit to us for free is huge.”

We offer an array of benefits to help you take control of your finances, prepare for the unexpected and make progress toward your financial goals.

“There are countless reasons to love my job, but I am specifically drawn to the tuition reimbursement benefits. Cox has taken all the financial stress off my shoulders.”
