"I have accomplished everything I set out to accomplish at AT&T."

What do you like about working at AT&T?

"Commission was not capped when I was hired. I was free to make as much money as I wanted."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would suggest focusing on their sales support and making them accountable for their errors. Currently, they're not accountable for their errors - their mistakes fall back to the sales people. This takes valuable time away from their sales force and, in turn, less profit is made for the company."

Sales Associate

"ATT is a terrible place to work."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Think twice before interviewing with this company."

What don't you like about working at AT&T?

"ATT is oppressive. It hires people, then breaks them down. The stress level the atmosphere creates is indescribable."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Management needs to be terminated because of its lack of concern for its staff."

Territory Manager

"It's a good place to work."

Business Analyst

"I got out while I still could."

What do you like about working at AT&T?

"I used to love my job and looked forward to meeting the day's challenges. All things considered, compensation was good and I liked my coworkers, most of my bosses and all of my direct reports."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Telecom is breathing its dying breath, thank God!"

What don't you like about working at AT&T?

"If you are in middle management, you are treated like a salary slave: 14-hour days because too many others are dropping the ball. If you have a single iota of responsibility, you will be abused until you're broken. Most upper management seems to be concerned with lining their pockets. The Union needs to go, too... this isn't the 1920's!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"If you supervise, listen to your key non-management people. They are the backbone of the company, despite the Union Hacks and loafers in Union positions of power. If you're a salaried employee, don't become a salary slave and learn to say no."

Senior Account Director

"AT&T, Cingular, SBC... It's a great company."

What do you like about working at AT&T?

"I enjoyed getting into the wireless arena when it just began. Lots of room for growth and advancement."

What don't you like about working at AT&T?

"As the company grew larger, commissions were capped. This isn't much of an incentive for a salesperson."

Senior Product Manager

What do you like about working at AT&T?

"The work was challenging."

Account Executive

"AT&T is a good start for an IT career."
