My coworkers at AT&T were family, and they were the hardest part to accept. I was leaving in 2006 due to downsizing

Pros

Salary is comparable to other companies. The whole work environment and the people made it enjoyable.

Most of my experience with AT&T was positive, and I had, for the most part, wonderful people I worked with in the 20 years I was there.

Cons

Opportunities for other positions within the company are there, but far between sometimes, due to people staying in their positions for long periods of time.

Competition for these positions is high, so unless you have seniority and/or the majority of skills required, it will be difficult to be considered as a candidate – in my opinion.

Advice to Management

Make sure your employees understand that sometimes you cannot provide the information they are wanting at that time. Don't just not answer or misdirect; be straightforward and let them know when changes are coming, as some things have to come out at certain times. You are not hiding things, but you are restricted by PTB on what and when information can be provided. You will be surprised how people will accept that.
