Business Outlook
Pros
As the largest telecom company, there are lot's of opportunities in many different departments. Company is performing well, even in a tough economy. Other good perks for managers include free phone service in states where AT&T is the local phone carrier, as well as discounts off of DSL and TV service.
Cons
Beurocracy is a killer. It is very demoralizing, especially in sales (particularly B2B, Enterprise). Very hard to get things done. Takes a long time to implement and bill a new wide area network. Different divisions operate as seperate "smokestacks". There is very little collaberation. Different departments must realize that the same logo appears at the top of their paychecks and need to work together to get things done.
