Pros

The size of the technical organization allows one to "hide" ... individuals that need to retire or should retireare being allowed to stay "in position" influencing current business activities and future corporate activities.

Cons

Office politics, poor training opportunities, "off-site" management structure would work if the sub-cultures were blended correctly. SBC, AT&T, BellSouth, Cingular, PacBell, SNET, these subcultures still exist years after merger activities occurred. It makes for very poor communications. As technical processes are merged positions in the technical areas of the corporation are becoming fewer and fewer. "Downsizing" fears have middle management paralyzed.

Pros

Discounted land line service, cell phone service, and if you're lucky U-verse service. The giant AT&T is a very stable place to work, no worries of the company going belly up anytime soon.

Cons

Long hours in IT, low pay against the rest of the industry. Health care programs are average to poor. Innovative new ideas are kept in check by the massive nature of the company, therefor it's not able to jump on the new developments in a timely manner. Career advancement and progressions are difficult to get excited over due to the huge number of employees, they can't give large bonuses or raises annually.
