Pros

Great benefit package (but I think that this is changing this year). They pay you when you sell it, so you don't have to wait to get paid.

Cons

The performance plan is terrible. you are grouped in with other reps from different markets and they are all lumped in together and compared. There is no releif for delinquent or claim accounts(ie if a business did not pay or the business did not authorize the sale and the rep that sold the account the year before is no longer withthe company then they "rotate' those accounts out to the reps that are left and you start the canvass with negative numbers and ther is no equitible thought process on the rotatin of those accounts and this is not taken into consideration for the performance plan...

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.
