Pros

Great lay and PTO. Remote work with no pressure on RTO.

Cons

Where do I start? Leadership cares more about protecting shareholders than they do employees. Constantly changing objectives and no real direction from leaders. DTV loves layoffs and they are purposely targeting employees who were hired in 2021/2022 during the great resignation. Those employees came in at a higher pay and now they are being shedded. No room for advancement. I made DTV a ton of money and I was tossed aside like yesterday’s garbage. It’s funny, with all the layoffs yet the C-suite stays the same. Data systems suck and employee burnout is high. No one is happy at DIRECTV. HR managers are useless as well.

Pros

Pay and benefits currently offered are very good at the current time. Of course, this could change as the company separates further from AT&T. Diversity is promoted here. Many opportunities for learning are available.

Cons

I think there are some hard times in the near future and would anticipate at least a few more years of significant layoffs. I left a company I had been working at for many years to take a job at DIRECTV just to be laid off a year later. The latest rounds of layoffs (January 2023) seemed to be indiscriminate without much consideration for retaining folks with the knowledge to continue running essential systems. The current state is a bit chaotic as they continue the process of separating systems and processes from AT&T. In the months since I left, it's been a complete nightmare dealing with payroll, benefits, etc. The company has so far failed to provide many of the things promised in the severance despite over 16 calls to get things like my unused vacation pay and the insurance subsidies that they promised.

Pros

Benefits and Remote/hybrid work if job allows

Cons

Dead end job, no growth. Can't remember the last time someone got promoted. Leadership doesn't know what they're doing anymore, no real direction or vision. A lot of budget cuts and layoffs.
