Pros

Money is decent but no opportunity for advancement.

Cons

The hours are actually insane. You never know when you are going to get home when you are working. Prem techs are under appreciated and treated horribly compared to other positions in the company, despite how necessary the job is. You can be forced to work 6 days the following week with no notice. They can and will do this almost every single week. The job will break you down physically and mentally. The CWA union is garbage at negotiations and there is no hope for change for a minimum of 4 years from 2022, which is when the new union contract was ratified. If you are good at your job and efficient, congratulations, your reward is more work and staying out later. I would NEVER wish this job on anybody. I am leaving as soon as I have a chance.

Pros

1 of the best things about AT&T is the training you receive as a New Hire. The company sends you to a designated location for a month's worth of training. They teach you the basics of sales and how to maximize your customers in-store experiences. While at training if it is necessary, they will pay to put you in a hotel, give you an American Express card for daily meals and reimburse you for any travel expenses in a very timely manor. The training you receive is top of the line. Next, lets talk pay. At&t pays their employees extremely well. With a base salary with paid overtime and full benefits and a compensation program, you won't want to leave the company just for that reason. They take care of their employees for the time you spend with them. Room for advancement. At AT&T moving up is a breeze if your motivated and a hard working individual. My current assistant store manager has only been with the company 10 months and is already looking at becoming a small business rep.

Cons

The work and life balance. The hours are long and tiring to the point were when you get home all you want to do is sleep and on your days off as well. Customers you have to deal with and the ability for a sales rep to control the interaction . That is one of the biggest complaint I have about the company. A lot of times customers come into the store hot and as sales reps we don't have the discretion or ability to waive ridiculous fees or fix issues. Everything seems like it has to be refereed to customer care which makes for a bad customer experience in store.
