AT&T reviews

The number one downside is this company's upper management tends to run the company like a dictatorship, and employee's opinions are discarded. Morale is about as low as I've ever seen it in my over 15 years at the company. For those of you reading this review that are not employees, would you believe that the world's largest telecommunications company does not allow its employees to work from home? Our leaders could save the company millions of dollars a year (reduced real estate, for example), and employees would save money spent on gas, not to mention we could actually have more time to do our jobs. Not to mention, tons of fewer CO2 emissions. Why does AT&T not want employees to telecommute? I wish I knew. Another downside is we appear to be on our way to receiving significantly lower or no bonus at all next year. We are given a short e-mail saying we will be measured on three targets. Currently we are below all three. That's it. Soooo, are we at all close to making any of them? Is it hopeless? What should we be doing to make the targets? Is it possible the targets were deliberately set too high so as to be unattainable?

Micromanaged is an understatement. Was required to report to the HUB frequently as punishment for not trending to goal as early as the 4th day of the month. Reporting in person at 7:15am no matter where you live. Over 60 miles for me which meant leaving for work at 6am and expected to go to dispatches until 5:30pm. Expected to work as late at 9-10pm if closing. Manager would text and call after work hours and on scheduled off days and if you didn’t answer/respond you would be punished with having to report to HUB in person as early as 7am. Was routinely subjected to group calls where team members who weren’t trending to goal are called names, made fun of, and threatened to be fired. At 5 months in I was 5th in tenure/seniority on a 13 member team. No one at my 3-team super HUB had been in their position longer than a year, including mangers. Major red flag
