AT&T Sales Development Program reviews

Recruiters do not tell you what the actual job description is. They say it'll be a great training program, but they end up only teaching you about the product and not how to actually sell the product, which makes it hard to be successful... but they don't care. -You are basically in a call center and they have a terrible CRM, so you end up harassing small businesses, some are called by AT&T employees 3 times a week and are angry when you call. -If you aren't doing well, managers will threaten to fire you so that you end up quitting and they won't have to carry your quota, instead of actually helping you. -terrible leadership, some managers will say they are there just to move up and could care less about helping you, most won't even answer your questions. -they teach you unethical practices just to hit quota. -embarrassing customer service to clients -no choice over your placement and upper management will keep you in the dark until the week of placement and if the city you want is not there, you either quit or go to a city you don't want to go to. -completely disorganized, hired over 300 people in one summer and at one point didn't even have enough room for everyone and some people had to work in the lobby. -When people don't hit quota, they raise it instead of figure out why no one is hitting quota -take advantage of college grads and tell them lies and do unethical things knowing they won't say anything about it. -no one likes their job, extremely toxic work environment.

Upward mobility; old Bell thinking. Preaches innovation, but rarely innovates
