Pros

From the position I hold there is flexability in working hours.

Cons

Lack of middle managment to tell upper managment the truth about problems at the bottom. Too much red tape to get anything done in IT world. Projects that should take a month take sixmonths, six month projects taking two years. Managment out of touch with the overall process. Upper managment needs to stop listening to the bean counters all the time and see what the real cost to the business is for the decisions they make. It's about more than the numbers on in the ledger.

Pros

The pay is good, depending on what business unit you're in. They have a fairly good view of work/life balance and are respectful of people's life away from work. The people are decent and management is fairly good. It would be better if upper management did communicate better to the rest of us what they are doing instead of giving commands to us just to execute.

Cons

There is some tension between the businesses and headquarters. Sometimes, we get objectives that are very high, maybe unreasonable, to some. There is no real culture at AT*T. It really varies by what region/business unit you're in. They are buying out companies left and right and sometimes they really don't think through how they are going to strategically integrate everything together into one unified front.

Pros

The company isn't going to go under anytime soon. There are actually lots of opportunities to advance if you look for them.

Cons

I'm not totally sure if it's worth it to advance in retail. The stress:compensation ratio is very unbalanced, and only getting worse. Training is good, but in management you don't get initial training until you've been on the job for a few months at least which is too late for some. Unrealistic goals and expectations, not enough support.
