AT&T

Decent pay when compared to other companies. However, I advanced quickly with the "take the title, and the pay will come around with salary treatment." When looking at salary ranges for the titles I've passed, I am below what I should be.

It's relatively low stress and had been fairly stable as a job. Lately, however, yikes. Most direct management folks are flexible to allow for time needed to take care of things (Dr. visits, etc.) and with telecommuting.

It can be frustrating dealing with the process and red tape on stuff. Also, I get management speaking out of both sides of their mouth on multiple issues (e.g., follow the process versus Stephenson said do this now).

Spend the money to update some of the antiquated systems that bog down progress and require so much money spent to customize solutions for each region. Create a central customer repository instead of regional deviation.
