Pros

I'm still in a legacy DirecTV division, so the people are great. I got some a really awesome project and great new technical skills from it.

Cons

It seems everyone is replaceable and equal at AT&T. Don't expect merit rewards. I killed it for the team and got zero raise. AT&T benefits are also terrible and there is threat of salary reductions for the full transition in 2017 so I am looking around. Still it can be a good place to get experience for your resume. Just don't expect to reap the rewards here. If you are exceptional take the experience and move on. It's only a place for the mediocre to feel comfortable long term and stay.

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.
