Pros

AT&T offers many opportunities for training, movement and advancement within the company. An employee is only limited by his or her enthusiasm or resourcefulness. It has a comprehensive benefit offering that is comparable or better than most other Fortune 500 companies. The company is very sensitive to the needs of its employees both personally and professionally. It is located in many regions in the US and world. There are many opportunities to telecommute if the job is conducive to that environment. Most departments within the company have a great sense of camaraderie and sharing of information. It has great pride in its brand recognition and how it is percieved by the public. AT&T believes wholeheartedly in corporate philanthropy and offers matching funds and grants to many relief efforts and organizations worldwide.

Cons

It is a very large corporation. It is very structured in its operations and sometimes that feels limiting or restrictive to employees. There can be a lot of red tape or processes to get things done.

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.
