Pros

If you are looking to understand how a US based and US managed company runs, then ATT may be a good place. This will allow you to grow the knowledge of how business may be run, no matter if you agree or disagree with the business model, but its what you get out of it. Growth is somewhat limited, as you need to seek out and create your own growth. If you are not in the right location, then forget about moving up. You may end up doing the same job for many years to come, but there may be some pay increases, not a lot, and bonus.

Cons

No promotions, unless you are in the right locations. The politics of what side of the fence you came from, " Legacy S" Legacy T, etc. Always having to find out what is really meant from management through your peers, as there is always an FMP in the horizon. If upper management is worry about their role, you will not be releasable to other jobs.

Pros

Not sure how it is nowadays, but when I was there, it was a company where non-mngmt employees could make a decent paycheck, depending on the position and geographical location. AT&T was a company where a high-school grad, ..no college degree, could move up the ranks and make a decent salary. I know of very few companies where a clerical job will pay 43+K a year. The training is great, if one wants to learn the telecommunications industry. When I was employed there, AT&T had an organization which paid for non-work-related training such as real-estate, cosmetology, massage therapist, plumbing, etc. Retirement pkgs are much, much better than most companies: six months to two years severance pay, benefits with no monthly premiums for non-mngmnt (at least so-far), 401K with 2/3 match, and choice of a lump sum payment or retirement check for life. That said; it still depends on exactly what location within the company one is employed. AT&T had union representation which bargained for employee benefits. Personally, this company did OK for me. I'm sure others might have complaints, however. Guess I got out while the 'gettin' was good.'

Cons

Attrition as a result of downsizing and forced reductions caused the workload to triple per employee in some cases. Employees were extremely overworked.
