Pros

Teammates are great. There is some good tech in the company if you look. Hours are flexible if needed. A yearly bonus, although not guaranteed, is still a good thing.

Cons

Too much rhetoric every single day: AT&T is great, AT&T is making money, AT&T is going strong, etc. Meanwhile...

Layoff culture for 5 years running. Every quarter, we are warned of impending layoffs. The more people that leave, the bigger the workload for each of us. No training.

All this contributes to high stress and an unfulfilling job every day.

Top 5 CEOs made AT&T a train wreck waiting to happen.

Advice to Management

Stop laying off unless you want to actually succeed in critical technology transitions so vital to the company's performance.
