Great Company.

Senior Technical Writer (Former Employee)

I worked at BellSouth

ProsCompetitive Compensation; Climate of teamwork; The company provides lots of technical training and there are opportunities to advance your career.

ConsCulture was still 20th century in many ways, however, progress is being made. Now that the company is owned by AT&T, the work place is not as people friendly and has more of a "big government" feel.

Advice to Senior ManagementBetter communication between upper management and employees needs improvement. Also, working to create more team building and off site employee events would improve morale.
