Pros

As the largest telecom company, there are lot's of opportunities in many different departments. Company is performing well, even in a tough economy. Other good perks for managers include free phone service in states where AT&T is the local phone carrier, as well as discounts off of DSL and TV service.

Cons

Beurocracy is a killer. It is very demoralizing, especially in sales (particularly B2B, Enterprise). Very hard to get things done. Takes a long time to implement and bill a new wide area network. Different divisions operate as seperate "smokestacks". There is very little collaberation. Different departments must realize that the same logo appears at the top of their paychecks and need to work together to get things done.

Pros

The benefits. However, pension plans are no longer offered. Relocation allowances are only given to director level and above.

Cons

The SBC culture is outdated. It is not performance driven. Employees are rewarded for showing up and fitting into a mold instead of thier actual performance. The old SBC offices are dark and gloomy. The conditions are something I would expect to see in former Soviet Union. Advancement requires frequent relocation. AT&T cannot decide what city it wants to call home. The Cingular headquarters was relocated from Atlanta, Georgia to San Antonio, Texas. Now the headquarters is being relocated just a few years later to Dallas, Texas.
