Pros

Looks good on the resume

Cons

Where to begin. It baffles me at how much work is given out to contractors. One example, 3 electricians come in on a regular basis to install 2 outlets, perform a total of maybe 60 minutes of work, yet get paid for 8 hours AND overtime because its done overnight. There is a third party who handles all build outs and hiring of contractors. att is paying these guys millions of dollars a year and in the end it costs the company 3 or 4 times to do things like install elecrical outlets or build a cage. Its a racket to say the least. It is very disheartening when they later post billions of dollars in profit and claim to not be able to support healthcare for its employees. I USED to own shares in the company until I started working here. This is sadly the worst place I have ever worked my entire life (I'm 42 years young). Won't be here much longer after these last 12 years. I started here when I was 30 and things looked promising, sadly as the years have gone by its gotten worse, especially since sbc took over.

Pros

Exposure to diverse technologies and new equipment. Knowing that there is money to purchase equipment required.

Cons

The company has epoused the classic AT&T culture, which means things have reverted back to the 1980s or 1970s. Work that would have taken hours takes days. Work that would have taken days takes weeks or months. Things are so process oriented and there are so many layers to prevent work from happening. The company has gone from a streamlined group of go-getters (from SBC days) to an empire of bloat that is focused on job security.
