Pros

Decent base salary’s. 401K match. Great remote work options during the pandemic.

Cons

Look on LinkedIn people don’t last in this job more than 1-2 years. You can hit quota for months. Once you hit a cold streak you could potentially be fired depending on your manager. Yes depending on you’re manager you could be unemployed during the pandemic or holidays. Managers encourage unethical behavior that negatively impacts the company. Some managers are so unqualified you question how they got into management. Since AT&T is so large it has became largely disorganized and the people who get promoted into management have special connections or followed the track of unethically behavior. This work environment depending on your VP can be toxic. VPs are extremely out of touch with what’s actually going on. Every manager is encouraging there team to do whatever it takes not to be apart of the next round of cuts. Sadly they have a funnel of college kids ready to come in whenever someone quits. So management never really learns why the turnover rate is so high.

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, work from home, good advancement structure as long as you have a good manager.

Cons

The wrong people are promoted into management. Management can be terrible, especially in the National Business Fiber organization. The main strategy is selling contracts and services to existing AT&T customers who already have AT&T service to begin with, sometimes at hundreds or thousands of dollars less than what they’re currently paying. Management plays favorites, and if you happen to not be one of them, it could spell trouble for your career. Management says one thing, then does another. Lying, cheating, and faking sales are looked the other way upon if you’re in good with management. Management lies to employees. There is a huge “gray area” where unethical and misleading sales practices are tolerated by certain employees, but not others. Working hard in this job does absolutely nothing for your career, this is a lesson playing the corporate game. selling the same things to already existing customers over and over while marking it as new sales revenue. employees claiming deals as new sales revenue that they themselves did not sell.

Pros

You get Xmas day & thanksgiving day off

Cons

I used to like working at AT&T call center but not so much anymore. The company takes everything you have & then more. They claim to treat everyone like family but they don’t. They take your family time & the time you need for yourself by giving mandatory overtime & claiming its for the needs of the business & customers but really it’s just them being greedy & mean. All AT&T cares about is themselves & the overtime isn’t making a difference. What really need to do is hire more people but they are too greedy for that & don’t care about their workers. If they cared they would hire more people & never do mandatory overtime & when your normal 8 hr shift ended you would be able to leave no matter what. It takes time away from family which matters way more than anything else & it’s time that you can’t get back. The calls are back to back all day. Nothing is ever enough or good enough
