Pros

The pay is pretty good considering you do not need a degree

Cons

Management does not care about you in any way. If you are not hitting your numbers EVERY month you are threatened with your job. it seems like every month AT&T finds something new to grade you on so there are more opportunities to fail. I have worked for them for over 5 years and my commotions have gone down every year even though I produce more every year (I am a top performer in both store and market). Very difficult to get promoted if someone in management doesn't really like you.

Pros

When you remove all of the hype, the products and services really are among the best in the industry. This is forward-thinking company, and the job is never monotonous or stale. The training is solid, progressive and on-going. They give you the opportunity to achieve your goals.

Cons

If you do achieve your goals, they keep raising the quotas without adjusting the payout, so even if you generate significant year-over-year growth, your income level will remain flat. The incentive to keep over-producing is simply to keep your job, not to recieve a financial benefit. This has resulted in some very questionalbe sales tacticts. This is perpetuated by the fact that the pay is among the lowest of its competitors. The hours are terrible, and they do not foster a work-life balance. The expectation is that you put work needs ahead of family needs, and you are met with suspicion and consequences for taking time. Promotions are rare, are very politcal and are not necessarily merit-based.
