AT&T Sacramento Reviews

Cons

Teams are not collocated and you may never meet your boss face-to-face. Loss of personal connection that help some become engaged with the work they're doing.

Cons

Job can be very physical and long hours walking and lifting.

Cons

As someone said, it is sort of ridiculous you have to leave the company and come back at higher pay. Almost everyone that left, came back at higher salary. Seems to be the case and what people do. If you are in Acquisition sales it will grind you out and it is truly sad when the fiber sales executives have only one quota bucket and can smash it and easily double their commission. Acquisition folks are totally mistreated in pay. Having three quota buckets one of them matching the fiber sales executives but double or triple their quota. Its ridiculous. I have no idea who thought that was a good idea to make Acquisition position feel even worse lol. I haven't met one person who if I had one on one conversation with actually doesn't think they are unfairly paid compared to fiber executives. Mangers know it, VPs know it but above that it gets ignored. Plus we are told to sell the strategic services portion but paid the least on it. I mean common! Man's gotta pay bills, its almost like they want you to hate your job and leave. And not to mention you have to deal with escalations that are not of your own making since you manage a module. Word of advice if you this is the position you are seeking run away. Yea you can hustle and grind but you will never make as much as the fiber folks who can open hunt and double or tripe their commission. Take that position all day. If AT&T paid us fairly on commision on the work load we take I would say its worth it. But a lot of people get burned out in this position.

Cons

Not very competitive pay when promoting/ transitioning internally.

Cons

Employee surplus seems to occur frequently (almost annually over the past few years)

Cons

Migration to large work hubs versus through out the country.

Cons

sales pressure can be severe. Goals are often too aggressive and unrealistic causing employees to slam unwanted features and fees on to customer's accounts.

Cons

High level of bureaucracy. Bottom-Top approach with low level of empowerment. Although training opportunities are available, it was difficult to enroll due to overwhelming day-to-day job responsibilities.

Cons

Do not value employment or tenure, have seen several Management employees experience a layoff after working with the company for 20 years with flawless performance.

Cons

Company management can sometimes be hard to understand
