Pros
It you have no experience in business, this could be a good foot in the door. That's really about it.
Cons
If you leave the company within 18 months after the training program, YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY AT&T back over $10,000. YIKES! I choose to leave this company because I got a better offer from another (THANK GOODNESS), and I was happy to pay the money to get out of my miserable role I felt that my recruiters lied to me. They spoke of how competitive the program is and how high-caliber the members are. Once things began, this felt very far from the truth. The managers were mostly incompetent, and my peers in the program were far from impressive. About 30-40% of the program left the company before finishing their five months because they were miserable, failed a test, or were asked to leave! You are micromanaged and treated like a child. My manager would talk to my class like we were elementary students. I had done competitive programs before and was shocked by the miserable management. The managers believe there should be an iron curtain between work and personal life. Even if they are only slightly older than you, they will act like they are far superior and would never consider discussing personal matters. Also, I thought this was going to be a great high-profile job. Once again, my recruiters lied to me. The office doesn't even have free coffee. There was no culture, little joy, and according to most employees, the best aspect was the 401K (which was weak compared to my current program). I now work for an amazing company. Everyday I am shocked at how amazing the new job is and how terrible AT&T was.
