Pros

They used to pay well and have decent benefits. They used to have decent leadership, but those days are gone.

Cons

They are firing everyone that has promoted or is a top performer to cut costs any way they can, because of their significant debt they incurred with horrible acquisitions by leadership. They are punishing the employees that have kept this company alive by finding any reason at all to fire employees just so they won't have to give them severance of any kind.

The current leadership has no idea what they are doing, and they are only looking to survive long enough to pad their retirement. AT&T used to be a good place to work, but now they are in a downward spiral and I can see them getting acquired in the near future by some private equity company just to be resold again later.

Advice to Management

Take care of the employees that have made this company successful.

Stop pretending that you know what the company needs help with, and just ask your top-performing employees in all of the different orgs what they think we should do to improve the company to stop the bleeding of leaving customers.

I would definitely recommend you stop firing all of your top talent that got you promoted in the first place, because karma will eventually come for you, and hopefully you have been doing the right thing... either way, you will pay the price in the end.
