Pros

This is a very high-tech company that will provide any person with a technical career path the opportunity to work with cutting-edge technology and services. Flexible scheduling is available, and there are lots of telecommuting options. Pay and benefits are very good.

It has many company-sponsored employee resource groups for just about any lifestyle or cultural background imaginable. Very socially conscious management and workforce that does a lot to help local communities and charitable organizations.

Cons

AT&T is a very large corporation, and it is easy to feel like a small player at times. Since the company is so huge, there are times when blanket initiatives are introduced that seem to conflict with the projects or work efforts with which you are currently tasked. A large company has people with many different personalities; poor performers and unfriendly attitudes are uncommon, but tend to stick around regardless of their overall ratings.

Advice to Management

Continue to focus on improving the methods in which employees can please the customer. Tear down hurdles and roadblocks to "doing the right thing."
