Pros

The benefits and pay are great. Lots of vacation and other paid time off. Many awesome first and second-level managers.

Cons

AT&T is in a cultural and vision crisis with poor executive leadership at the helm, in my opinion. The company is a huge cash cow struggling to reinvent itself (find new revenue streams). The con then is job security. AT&T has a history of failed ideas because of poor executive planning and execution. They have let a lot of people go in the last few years.

Advice to Management

Either hire outside people for senior management positions that respect the traditions of the Bells AND have a proven track record for corporate entrepreneurship, or stick to trying to be the best and greatest option for wireless phone service, like 5G.
