Pros

Great teams and peers to work with

Cons

Clueless, incompetent management. Bought other companies left, right, center during last decade. New management sold pretty much everything that was bought (DirecTV, Warner Bros) as they had no competence to run those businesses. New management's cloud direction isn't going well as well and data center closure decision is perhaps coming back to bite them. So, now they are closing pretty much all office locations across the nation except 5 "hubs" in the name of return to office. Talk about irony, company that sells VPN, internet and phones products that are supposed to prove remote working, connecting people geographically away from each other, closing all offices across the country and forcing them to move along with their families to these 5 "hubs".

Pros

The benefits were great, company paid for 90% or so. I have almost nothing good to say besides benefits and discounts.

Cons

Management is awful, completely disconnected with the outside sales managers. 0 knowledge about relocation regardless of what they tell you. Long hours, low pay. This is like being hazed and treated poorly for 16-36 weeks by managers who take their personal issues out on their team. Do not recommend, take your sales talents elsewhere. Also failed to have any jobs lined up after completion of program, stuck in ATL for months after program ended.

Pros

The brand, coworkers, pay, and discounts.

Cons

There are so many levels to this company that it is sickening. Maybe I'm just used to working in an open door environment but there's just too many people to go through to get something done. On top of all that mess there is about a million systems that you have to learn how to navigate. As such an innovative company I feel they should have a better way of streamlining all of these systems. AT&T is big on diversity but as a person of color, I did tend to be "picked" on a lot. If it was just me I'd leave at that but this is incorporating reviews that I've gotten from coworkers who were there before me. Overall it was a really stressful environment but not because of the workload, more so the expectations they had of a black employee. If your too quiet, your angry, if your too loud, your "typical". It's hard to find a balance when the cards are stacked against you.
