Pros

Cuurent insuance benefits is the only reason to work for AT&T but that can all change with the upcoming contract

Cons

In order to get promoted you have to kiss up to mangagement and that still won't get you anywhere. Have no sympathy when it comes to family situations. Production..production..production..is managements concern. Jobs are being taken away left and right, then they except you to train and assist the new group to do your own job. If you don't, you are taking the chances of being written up by management. You will be used until your services are not longer needed. Morale is at an all time low. Depending on who your manger is depends on if you life will be hell. Very few good managers left. They assume they are there to babysit not supervise.

Pros

Stability. In such a large company, you can spend a whole careers in all aspects of business.

Cons

You could get so specialized with your function you get pigeon-holed into it and not be able to stay connected with your customer base. It's sometimes not clear who you work for and what value you add.

Pros

The few upsides to working there include: they have an official telecommuting policy, the company seems relatively secure, the employee rate plan for cell service is cheap (for now), and outsiders instantly recognize the name.

Cons

Red tape, bureacracy, and more red tape... what else would you expect from a 300,000-person telecom giant that's a century old? Being that large and not having finished integrating the legacy organizations of SBC, BellSouth, and Cingular, the left hand does not know what the right hand is doing. The company is full of lifers--people who are there just to retire or get a severance package. They've cut costs to the point of hurting morale, as in no free coffee, no plates or utensils in the kitchens, less A/C in the summer, and less heating in the winter.
