I was able to be involved in a lot of projects that helped me learn things that I would not have learned on my own.

Work in California is diminishing for the sake of money. Company looks at the bottom line too much. The outsourcing of work needs to stop.

Advice to Senior Management

Keep work in the USA instead of outsourcing it.

High degree of job functions to choose from

Cons

Large company comes with its share of challenges

Pros

compensation and salaries are very good

Cons

upper management is demand and micromanaging

Pros

I have had a variety of different jobs during my career which has provided an opportunity for me to expand my skills. During this time, I have worked on several assignments which have made a difference to AT&T's future.

Cons

Career opportunities are quite limited unless you are willing to relocate several times.
There is virtually no training -- you need to make the effort to teach yourself any new skill.
Job security is largely nonexistent. AT&T has frequently off-shored or sold various work functions.

Advice to Senior Management

I wish senior management would make more of an effort to increase job opportunities for employees. I think many of the newer employees will eventually leave since the chance to change jobs (or even get promoted) is quite limited. In addition, it seems many jobs are only available in Dallas even though they could be performed quite well from another location.

Pros

Excellent Compensation
Professional Executive Training Program
Focus on Employee Engagement

Cons

Large Organization...teams need to act faster.
Individual Accountability

Advice to Senior Management

Keep focused on the Employees, then Customers and the Shareholders will be rewarded handsomely.
