Pros

Employees received 50% off AT&T wireless services

Cons

Basically everything else. Difficult to imagine a worse company in terms of accountability, politics, leadership and ethics. Totally focused on expense to the detriment of everything else including customers, suppliers, and especially employees. Executive leadership has (mis)guided this company through several poorly conceived acquisitions, abysmal execution, executives get promoted and protect each other when other employees are fired for much less. It is really difficult for me to be more precise without compromising information but if you can imagine it...it probably exists in this culture. Fear, distrust, constant fire drills, loads of wasted time and money on building presentations for petulant petty leaders ill equipped to lead a complex firm in a complex market. Many of them are out of touch, lack a firm grasp of the current competitive landscape and simply live by powerpoint. Forcing employees to move to Dallas without relocation as a mechanism to trim the ranks. They're also requiring employees to work at the office a minimum of 40 hours per week and arrival/departure windows; however, they still demand people to work evenings and weekends and you will have to look hard at high to find anybody happy to be there. This place is a dumpster fire.

Pros

-There are some great people in the company, and have made life long friends. -Experience selling for big teleco and having that on resume. -Know the right people and you can make good money. -Good benefits.

Cons

-Layoffs are coming in all departments. Mid market, ENT, Global are a mess - truly. Most active company on the biggest layoff website on the net right now. The direction is to drastically reduce head count in waves into 2028 for its 180 Billon dollar debt. -Do whatever is needed to close deal. -AT&T stock is not doing well and hasn’t been for years. Feels like company is moving to a sell out. Put your money in vanguard. -National breaches that affected the country and customers. This translates to less money in your pocket for less deals. Pay reduced and goals raised. -Company run by finance guy who only goes in trenches for photo op on LI. -CTO has no back bone. -Training I’ve seen for newer employers coming in has severely deteriorated over the years. -B2B program grads are deers in headlights when placed in office. I feel for them. Training they receive does not prepare them for real world.

Pros

- Great cohort - Some managers are very down to earth - Benefits are great

Cons

- Don't really train you if you're not getting it - Some regions perform better than others - You don't know where you'll end up until 20 days before - Upper management seems kind but is pretty ruthless - Managers don't have experience in specific regions you're going in - They take minimal risk with employees, but expect you to risk it all - work / life balance is a myth. PTO doesnt mean sales wait
