Pros

Good salary and benefits. The work is interesting and they are headed into an exciting transformation with the potential acquisition of Time Warner.

Cons

I don't even know where to begin. The level of bureaucracy is astounding and can only be outdone by our gov't. Get ready to spend most of your team managing financial what if scenarios, fighting for $, and filling out process paperwork. I was here over 10 years, and the process actually got worse not better. They don't let leaders lead and be successful rather than live to serve the process and budget. Organizations are built on Egos of executives and not what is the best way to serve the customer. In fact I recall a number of executives making decisions based solely on "how they act as a customer" and ignoring the data which contradicted their opinion. If all our customers were white, 50+, and millionaires then we nailed the target audience.

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.
