Pros

I feel the company does a good job of being flexible with time off and work/life balance. Training is good but hard to complete as my job is so busy, I need to complete training outside of work hours.

Cons

You're just a number. The company is slowed down with process and red tape. They make it way to hard to get anything done. I could do twice the work if I was not spending all my time trying to figure out some crazy process that no one knows about. The dollar is number 1. You as a employee are on the bottom of the priority list. The bathrooms are gross and always dirty. Not positive if they get cleaned daily or not. The trash at desks are only emptied once a week. No coffee, plastic forks, spoons, plates, etc. There is nothing in the break rooms except a pop machine and a microwave. You can get water from the sink. Basically, the company has little respect for you and your work environment. On the flip side, most employees I know have little to no respect for AT&T.

Pros

At&t has amazing managers, room for growth, pay that matches responsibility, and a community of amazing customers. They also have huge incentives outside of your original pay and commission.

Cons

Most of the time you have to start at the bottom as they promote from within. You do get an older customer base that might not be as educated on technology.

Pros

1 of the best things about AT&T is the training you receive as a New Hire. The company sends you to a designated location for a month's worth of training. They teach you the basics of sales and how to maximize your customers in-store experiences. While at training if it is necessary, they will pay to put you in a hotel, give you an American Express card for daily meals and reimburse you for any travel expenses in a very timely manor. The training you receive is top of the line. Next, lets talk pay. At&t pays their employees extremely well. With a base salary with paid overtime and full benefits and a compensation program, you won't want to leave the company just for that reason. They take care of their employees for the time you spend with them. Room for advancement. At AT&T moving up is a breeze if your motivated and a hard working individual. My current assistant store manager has only been with the company 10 months and is already looking at becoming a small business rep.

Cons

The work and life balance. The hours are long and tiring to the point were when you get home all you want to do is sleep and on your days off as well. Customers you have to deal with and the ability for a sales rep to control the interaction . That is one of the biggest complaint I have about the company. A lot of times customers come into the store hot and as sales reps we don't have the discretion or ability to waive ridiculous fees or fix issues. Everything seems like it has to be refereed to customer care which makes for a bad customer experience in store.
