I worked at AT&T full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
- Benefits - Pay - Flexibility - Company that keeps on adapting to change which will always make it relevant to the future opportunity for job security.
Cons
- transparency needs to be work on threw upper leadership
Advice to Management
Focus on your network and ERG groups. There is going to be a lot of change all the time with different leadership so re building your image will happen quite a bit. If you are a manager who will be willing to relocate you can move up fast in the company.

I have been working at AT&T full-time
Pros
Decent Pay, Good benefits, good career growth opportunity.
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.

I have been working at AT&T (More than 10 years)
Pros
Good benefits such as product concession, good opportunity for advancement. Excellent support from direct leadership. Good education/training opportunities.
Cons
Employee surplus seems to occur frequently (almost annually over the past few years)
Advice to Management
Company should ensure to value employee talent and contributions over contractors. Too many times have I seen valuable employees surplussed when contractors are maintained.
