Doesn't RecommendDoesn't Approve of CEO
Pros

Free cell service and pension.

Cons

Horrible medical benefits (AKA disaster insurance), an archaic business model and work culture (really, no plastic cutlery or cups, plates, or coffee?). The CEO makes $22 million per year and abuses company funds (private jet, home security system, club memberships).

Advice to Management

Share the wealth, get with the 21st century.

ATT Wireless (McCaw Cellular One at one time) was a truly innovative, technology-driven, forward-thinking, rewarding company to work for. See the likes of Amazon, Microsoft in the day, Google – companies that now know that employees who are taken care of will truly take care of the company in return.

The company now reminds me of the United States under the George W. Bush administration. Bass ackwards... old boys network... archaic...
