The cabinet is traditionally a panel of advisers to the President. Times have changed somewhat, but the Cabinet still runs the departments of the executive branch and reflects the policies of the President. They serve at his will ; he can fire them if they do not perform.

Do cabinet members automatically follow a reelected president into the next administration?

I admit I don't know if it is automatic, but I know it rarely happens. Given the relationship between a President and each of his/her Cabinet Members, it is logical to assume that the President will take care to pick people with whom he/she communicates well and perhaps even thinks like. If that is true, it would not be surprising for each new President to replace the Cabinet when he/she takes office. A new President has sometimes kept his predecessor's Cabinet, mostly in cases where the President was followed into the White House by his Vice President, and never in cases where the new President is of a different party. If I had to guess, I would say that by default, when the President goes, the Cabinet goes, so an incoming President would need to inform any members he/she wishes to keep on.
