Pros

Great pay and benefits. The work varies from job to job, so you're not necessarrily doing the same thing twice. Most of the people there are pretty secure with themselves as it is a union job, so there's not much of a I'm better than you mentality. I get to work on communication systems that serve lots of people. So it's a fairly unique job.

Cons

They pay you well so they expect a lot out of you. The job confrontsyou with different challenges that can be solved different ways. And I'm supposed to know everything. It can be a bit overwhelming.

Pros

AT&T offers its employees GREAT benefits both monetary and non monetary. AT&T is one of the worlds most recognizable companies and a compnay to be proud to be apart of. AT&T and its mid level management are quick to give recognition for hard work and a job well done. While AT&T has thousands of teams working on different issues on different parts of the company I love the team I work with and enjoy my time with them. I am fortunate to say I work with friends and not just collegues. While AT&T may not be the perfect company to work for it is better then most.

Cons

Sometimes fell trapped as opportunities for advancement seem non exsistant.
