Pros

Plenty of vacation and a good work life balance. There are many opportunities available for someone to move laterally within the company

Cons

The compensation is horrible, upward mobility is very limited and morale among the employees is low. Employee attrition would be a lot higher if the job market were better. As the wireless industry matures, it will eventually mirror the old wireline companies....big, slow and over regulated.

Pros

A great place for those who don't like to work hard and want to keep doing the same task over and over again. Since this is a huge company, most taks are broken down to a small function that has to be repeated by the employee over and over just like in an assembly line. Quite a bit of remote management with geographically dispersed team allows for flexible work schedules (9-3) as long as you can get your work done.

Cons

If you are joining AT&T, be ready for red tape, promotions and pay based on relationships and not performance. While there it felt like a good old boys club. Not good if you are not one of the "old boys". With some amount of networking becoming one can join the club I suppose.

Pros

You have telecommunications experience and knowledge and need a job with benefits. and it won't bother you too much to be part of such a poor overall organization.

Cons

The systems are poor and require a lot of manual work by agents to complete tasks. The systems don't communicate with each other where it would improve work production and data accuracy. There is an overall lack of cooperation between different segments, with not much focus on the big picture of what the organization is trying accomplish. Knowledge is horded and not shared, and training is a joke. Even though they talk up the Customer Rules to make customer satisfaction a priority, all the business decisions run contrary to that goal.
