Pros

The best reason to work for AT&T is the salary, and maybe the largeness of the company, which may lead to other opportunities.

Cons

I originally worked for BellSouth, which was acquired by AT&T. Therefore, there is a severe culture clash and right now, the morale in Atlanta is very low. Additionally, AT&T (old SBC) has made drastic changes without a lot of communication to the rank and file. Old SBC's processes are not impressive.

Pros

Having worked at AT&T for any length of time looks good on a resume, but even that is starting to lose value.

Cons

There is absolutely ZERO loyalty to the employees that have built this company. AT&T as a whole is a profit monger and cares nothing about corporate responsibity or integrity. It bases decisions on how well it adds dollars to senior management bonuses and disregards its duty to increase shareholder value. Management is unresponsive. Policies are idiotic and counter-productive. Benefits are non-existent. Job satisfaction is a distant memory. Professional development is stagnant. Training amounts to rediculous HR-related topics and nothing of a substantial technical nature. Employee reviews are subjective and aren't based on any real measure of productivity or value to the business. Contractors are treated poorly. Jobs are cut needlessly and remaining employees are then over-burdened and unreasonably expected to be responsible for the failings of a management team that can't understand that if noone is left to paddle, the boat doesn't move.

Pros

Money is fantastic, if money is what you seek...a great place to work.

Cons

Performance doesn't matter, don't count on anyone having your back. Senior leaders are self serving and employees are managed by fear and intimidation vs inspiration/motivation. Regardless of performance, screaming at employees has become the norm. Downgrades and surplus are more common these days than promotion.
