Pros
First off, at&t is really ‘SBC’. Based in Texas, SBC bought at&t’s name and network, when ever you hear at&t now, it’s not the old at&t you’re familiar with. When SBC bought Pacific Bell, SBC received much negative publicity because their corporate atmosphere is rather harsh. I feel the Bellsouth takeover wasn’t given much media attention as far as SBC’s treatment of employees, because they’re getting rid of employees slower. The best reasons to work here are good benefits & above average salary. Had the same with Bellsouth. Bellsouth was a much more employee/customer friendly place to work, but with the economy downturn Bellsouth was beginning their path to an ‘SBC’ culture as well.
Cons
So far, at&t is by far one of the most hostile environments in which I’ve worked. I know of no previous Bellsouth employees that likes “the new at&t”. at&t will squeeze until they can't get anymore from you. After you're used up, consider yourself gone. View this job as a temporary stepping stone to something better.
