Pros

You take a paycheck home.

Cons

Uncompetitive, below market rate salary. Terrible health and dental plans. The plans used to make up for the bad salary, but that went down the toilet last year when the new "gold" plan became last year's "bronze". You have to pay a big premium if you want any out of network coverage. What a joke. Company is filled with bootlickers who are too busy kissing up to Stankey to do anything about the sinking Titanic. The CEO made some legally questionable comments during the last town hall. Someone on Yammer (Viva Engage) had the courage to demand that a recording be published so that everyone could hear what John Stankey had to say about older employees. That individual was fired on the spot and was gone the next day. Company is pushing return to office as a layoff mechanism to avoid having to pay severance. They are getting rid of hub locations and telling those impacted to move to Dallas or Atlanta on very short notice and at their own expense. (Relocation costs are not covered.) You are required to respond to the letter by October, and to report to the new location by January. My advice to anyone considering working here: if you are out of college, use this company as a hopping stone to jump-start your career, but do not stick around. They will not take care of you, and they will screw you over. Company has no long-term vision and your skills will stagnate here.

Pros

Good money. That is all.

Cons

This place will literally suck you dry of all happiness and personality. Managers are forced (by their bosses) to constantly finding something you are doing wrong. No matter how well you are at the job, they can and they will find something to get you in trouble for. They want you to try to sell sell sell every single thing to customers even after they have said no. They also are a VERY shady business to work for. It is the most exhausting and ridiculous job I have ever worked for.

Pros

At this time AT&T is slashing labor costs as well as consolidating management personnel around Dallas and Atlanta (and some DC, etc.) and doing this by elimating jobs outside of these cities and posting new (and fewer) jobs in these cities. If you’re willing to work in one of these locations you might have the opportunity to pickup responsibilities and gain visibility - and potential for advancement - faster than typical if you let AT&T lean on you as it settles into some sort of new norm. And while it’s not a hot tech company like some others it has instant and national brand recognition which wouldn’t be bad for your resume, depending on your role and ambitions.

Cons

At this time AT&T is slashing labor costs as well as consolidating management personnel around Dallas and Atlanta (and some DC, etc.) and doing this by elimating jobs outside of these cities and posting new (and fewer) jobs in these cities. If you’re willing to work in one of these locations you might have a lot dropped on you with limited recognition while the company finds a new equilibrium. That includes the potential of being caught in the next round of cost costing. Depending on your role and ambitions AT&T’s name may not have the same cache it may have once had.
