Pros

If you are not particularly ambitious, AT&T may work perfectly for you. AT&T has incredibly low expectations of it's employees except that adherence to bureaucratic rules and regulations is to trump everything, including the most blatantly obvious good ideas. Likewise, the low expectations can be taken advantage of in terms of the overall time commitment required for the job, to the extent that competent and capable people can meet the low expectation with minimal effort and time.

Cons

AT&T is a toxic work environment, especially in terms of Information Technology. The company does not understand the necessity of investment in technology, people, or facilities and would generally rather legislate and regulate than innovate. Ironically of course, the end result of this approach is that implementations end up costing significantly more, value-add is significantly less, and everyone involved from customers to employees is significantly dissatisfied.

Pros

Colleagues were competent and willing to assist across group lines. The AT&T brand is significant and SBC Communications did well to take on the name. The Video focus is beginning to benefit the organization, and its employees. Still work to be done in this area though.

Cons

Lack of appreciation for employees. Everyone is expendable, not a company to spend a career with anymore. The company is huge and although they have standards among IT systems, there are disparate systems a plenty. The company did not lend much weight, as compared to other organizations, to business degrees.

Pros

Potential to learn a lot in a short amount of time, prepared to work hard and be underpaid. There are really no upsides other than the skills you learn and the fact that AT&T is a recognizable name on your resume.

Cons

Low compensation, large company attitude, hard to get things done, this is the only place I ever worked that made you pay for your own holiday/employee appreciation lunch, employee morale is extremely low, dead end job feeling.
