Pros

Looking back on my employment at at&t, I can honestly say that the only thing that seemed worthwhile was the pay and benefits. I didn't smoke and was single, so my insurance was free and was accepted at a lot of places.

Cons

lack of communication of expectations, techincal resources for their sales staff, "toxic" social work environment, feeling of despair with getting anything done in a timely manner, constantly disappointed clients due to inefficiencies of a 300,000+ employee monopoly, lack of commuincation and feasible protocol between segments (at&t, bellsouth, sbc etc) and depts. Ever been to the DMV and been frustrated by the lack of responsiveness and inordinate amount of time it takes to get your visit complete? everyday will feel like a trip to the DMV and perhaps a stop by the social security administration. honestly, it's not that bad unless you question the status quo and ridiculous hoops you have to jump through to get anything even close to done. so, if you're a cog, then you'll flourish amongst the bureacraZy.

Pros

Good work - life balance and secure working environment as long as you are making your self marketable to the company as a whole.

Cons

HR always comes up with excuses why your new role is not a promotion even thought you have more people reporting to you or your revenue management responsibilities have doubled but its at the "new" threshold levels- these seem to change like the wind.

Pros

You get to bring home a paycheck.

Cons

Horrid IT Leadership; executives that think they are technical and give technical direction instead of vision. No other reason for working at AT&T beyond a paycheck. Their 'Green' initiatives consist of turning up the thermostat and roasting their employees instead of something like...I don't know...painting the tops of their buildings white. Moral is low here, nobody wants to take ownership of anything and the leaders refuse to sponsor anything unless they came up with the idea.
