Pros

Benefits, working outside, pay prior to 2004 was very good.

Cons

Employees are nothing but a number as far as how you are treated. The company constantly preaches safety but continually demands you respond to unsafe environments and conditions. No family life outside of the company due to the amount of overtime worked. Management has absolutely no idea what happens in the field on a day to day basis and is only concerned about there numbers looking good despite the numerous roadblocks techs have to negotiate daily. I personally am divorced and lost my family due to working 3rd shift from what was explained to me that “some tickets don’t look good open 24 hours in this column and it looks better in this column” not for better customer service but because it looks better in a different column to someone 5 states away… After 2 years the 3rd shift went away due to lack of work every night and of course having techs out at 1am might be a safety issue.

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.
