AT&T reviews

Very limited chances for advancement or movement to other sides of the business. The downsizing has all employees scared and they've been that way for years. Fearful that once moved to a new position the layoff will come and since you 'low on the experience' you're gone. Therefore, the teams are very vertically alinged and the barriers and silos created from that are difficult to break. Poor supervisor level management in the support areas. Limited knowledge of team building and allowing for upper management to see ideas and implement projects to improve daily tasks. At times little or no rationale for added tasks or projetcs that would create no value to reports or process improvment by Sr. Managers.

Once AT&T took over, the old school style of management kicked in. Many of the perks and benefits of working for Cingular are now gone under AT&T Mobility. Trying to manage a 21st century leading edge company with early 20th century management styles is a complete failure. AT&T corporate has used Cingular as its own personal corproate bailout. Cingular was cash rich, AT&T was needing a lifeline, and they are taking all that Cingular had/has.
