Pros

Good benefits, ample vacation time. You can have a life when you work at AT&T, just don't expect to have an exciting job or many opportunities for advancement. It's also a culture that is not very confrontational, for the most part you don't get screamed at by upper management, they generally are respectful to the employees, at least to their face.

Cons

Getting promoted has become damn near impossible. Poorly performing employees are never terminated, I mean never. The only way anyone is let go is through layoffs and since everyone at the company gets the same exact performance review that process does not have any coherent structure to it. Terrible raises and management makes it clear in many cases that you are nothing more than a number on a spreadsheet.

Pros

Most of the employees are union and the union bargains for fair wages and benefits. These are very high in comparison to other employers in our area.

Cons

You are a number on a piece of paper, a productivity level. If the employees meet their objectives, the company changes the objectives to make them difficult to attain without cheating on your numbers a little. Higher level management does not listen to, or ask the field technicians about what is really needed or desired by the customers they come into contact with. There is very little recognition for achievement or customer commendations. Employee morale is not very high in any area except wages and benefits which the union attains for them, the company does not give them voluntarily. Job satisfaction, or work/life balance satisfaction is low. Most managers play favorites among employees, they simply cannot do it monetarily as the union scale guarantees that everyone is treated eaqually in that respect. They can however do it by work assignments, or in other ways.
