Avantages

There are still a lot of smart, talented tech people who care about Cars.com. The work-life balance and benefits are great.

Inconvénients

Upper management is stubbornly blind and is driving out promising tech leaders. I personally don't trust HR to pass on or act on any constructive feedback or raised issues - it's now a black hole.

Thanks for your feedback. We’re proud to have built an organization where our work life balance is above average, and people feel empowered and appreciated based on their ability to deliver outcomes. We recognize that having a strong, supportive workplace leads to happier, healthier and more productive employees. We are sorry to hear that your experience at Cars.com was not the experience we intended. Improving communication and transparency from HR is a priority we know we need to address. Sometimes, we’re so focused and driven to innovate, meet demands and deliver results, we miss opportunities to communicate effectively. We’re working very hard to change that. We experienced a lot of change in our Product and Tech organization in the recent past and that brings challenges with setting priorities. By the nature of our industry, we like new ideas … which can also make it difficult to set priorities. As an independent public company, we know this is a muscle we need to strengthen. We are focused on doing a better job at relying on our strategic plan to guide our decision-making. We also recognize the desire for career paths and structures; everyone wants to know what they need to do to move up and feel accomplished. We have room to improve on those structures and coaching our people on how to navigate them. We will continue to consider this feedback and push forward on these improvements to making Cars.com a great place to work.

Avantages

It used to be great. Hard to think of any pros now. But before, it was amazing under AV.

Inconvénients

They lost any ounce of soul and human decency. You are just a number now. Literally my manager knew my employee number. They almost make you feel like you are worthless, always failing, and don't think about going somewhere else, because you kind of suck. Knit picking everything. Even though I was a top performer for several years in a row. Corp change, with new President who brought her friends in... no auto experience. It went from bad to worse. More pressure, more layoffs... they have to pay her friends somehow. The weird thing here is, they let sales go, but kept bad middle management. I quit and got a new job elsewhere. It's ok to leave. You are valued elsewhere. I promise! Good news is, how bad they are there, makes you want to work hard for your new place because everywhere and anywhere else is so much better!
