Pros

AT&T gives you many learning opportunities and has contracts with many services to provide training (like LinkedIn and Udemy), as well as college courses and tuition assistance.

I recommend everyone take full advantage of all the opportunities available.

They also have good benefits and great people.

Cons

Job security is not what it used to be. They are contracting out their IT and cloud storage and constantly reorganizing, meaning you have to always be looking to move and get in with the next group.

Advice to Management

I've never been a fan of contracting out IT functions like app development. Development usually takes twice as long, and you pay for ongoing maintenance. This is when you have highly qualified developers that know the business and can develop applications in a shorter amount of time with fewer problems because they know what is needed.
