Does AT&T offer a yearly bonus?

Good pay and benefits including a yearly bonus.

Management not always in tune and employees treated like a number.

PTO and health insurance are good. They also offer fairly generous resources for training, for corporate employees.

Stack ranking was used to divvy up the end of year bonuses, which is impossible since managers have no way of rating people who aren't on their direct teams. Watched most promotions go to friends and favorites of the existing leaders, so if you don't play politics well or suck up to the right boss, you have pretty much no chance for advancement. The learning and development team was the dumping/training ground for leaders being groomed for upper management (VP and above), so had to suffer through a new know-nothing in charge every 1.5 years. Low performers who really should have been terminated for cause lingered for years getting shuffled around like a bad joke. At the low-mid level (associate directors), most people managers did not know how to manage/lead people. The culture and communication style does not value direct input or feedback, which is part of the reason that problems fester for well beyond reason, without being corrected. Also, probably due to the size of the organization, there was massive lack of accountability and plenty of people that would answer questions simply "it's not my job" - even for jobs they held very recently. They've also instituted RTO policies limited to very specific cities, designed to work as quiet layoffs, forcing people to relocate at their own expense or leave the company. This is after decades of successfully running remote and distributed teams (well before COVID). So instead of retaining talent, they're retaining the people who live in driving distance of the offices. Serious lack of diversity despite half-hearted words about DEI that one suspects are only for the sake of public image.

Good salary with yearly raise. Good benefits.

Layoffs Terrible severance package. Only hire internally - they post jobs externally, but tend to only hire internally. It's about who you know.

Good pay, benefits and yearly bonuses. Have worked with great and amazing people. Most employees are happy to help each other out.

Leadership tends to have frequent layoffs/surpluses. The latest trend is if they don't surplus or lay you off, they tend to find other ways such as making you move to keep your job.

Pays bills, pension, yearly raises

Everything else: greedy, no employee appreciation when it comes to contracts renewal

maybe a few people that work from home actually work but 90% of the employees barely work. They're out shopping at walmart or attending their kids soccer games. RTO doesn't work either because people badge in and leave after a few hours. not to mention there are no desks so half your time is wasted looking for an open spot.

Many. You are always under the threat of layoffs. employment here is the opposite of job stability. see why below. senior management constantly makes bad decisions. loses money and blames worker by laying them. the current leadership made the blunder of purchasing the most expensive acquisitions, DIRECTV and WarnerMedia, butchered both company that had stellar reputations (have you noticed how crappy HBO has become? thank Stankey) and sold both companies at a loss. For someone making $80,000 a year, they would be fired for that kind of bad judgement and management. but when you make $25million a year, you get more bonuses, meanwhile employee raises are 1%. there's a lot of clerical work employees with management titles. you can come in ambitious but you'll end up the same jaded bare minimum employee which is the reason for the dead end job. you won't learn or grow from them. yes you'll have collected a paycheck but you won't be prepared for the next job after you've been laid off. micromanagement is unreal. you will have a boss micromanaging your every email, work, etc. that you don't have to do any real work. and then they'll get frustrated at you. when i say the management employees are like clerical workers, even the HR and benefits team is included. They can't do anything right. They screw up your benefits. You can't talk to anybody from the US if they do. Only people paid $2/hour from India.

Great training and and exceptional people, but the upper middle layer in some departments is not as good as it used to be.

Constant downsizing and benefit reductions year after year while senior management continues to take bonuses is disheartening.

AT&T values its employees and takes good care of them. It's a flexible and family-oriented work environment, and most people in senior management have children (of all ages) as well as aging parents so colleagues can relate to the unpredictability of being in the "sandwich." Quality of the health insurance depends on the market where the job is based. For instance, Dallas and Atlanta senior employees are served by better healthcare networks than other markets. Salaries are competitive but because the stock has languished so much in recent years, bonus and long-term compensation has not delivered as much extra income as it once did (typical 3-year vesting cycle) Bonuses and long-term comp are paid in cash and stock. Typical bonus + longterm comp at the AVP level is about a third of annual salary. This portion increases at levels above AVP. Work environment is friendly and easy-going. Although the circumstances vary from unit to unit, generally AT&T is not a pressure cooker workplace and expectations for performance are medium-high but not high or intense.

AT&T is still recovering from the misguided business decisions of 2015-2016. The company significantly overpaid for DirecTV and then overpaid again for Time Warner's entertainment businesses. These acquisitions added huge debt to the company's balance sheet. AT&T's debt is a drag on it's stock price. Otherwise, the core wireless and telecom business is dependable and cash rich. The Dallas-based executives of the company haven't demonstrated much business acumen and are often lagging behind business trends. It's an insular culture and senior executives are "lifers" with little or no experience outside their sector or outside AT&T. Yet, they demonstrated (in the time I worked there) lots of arrogance and ultimately hubris about business trends that I attributed to their experience working only in telecom and in their home markets. AT&T was not a business savvy or culturally-attuned company.

Yearly bonus , yearly increase, even though it’s not so much ((between 5-9%)

Many times you are limited on what you can do, you sofers need to engage other teams due to the lack of access

Pay is good and the yearly bonus (when achieved) is also nice. Discounts on Wireless and Fiber, though employee discounts are barely more than general discounts in the market.

As the title says, Management/Leadership simply does not care about their employees and low morale throughout the company reflects this. From forced relocations, abysmal 5 Day RTO “efforts” (Intense/inacurate employee tracking, lack of parking, lack of desk space, lack of IT infrastructure, lack of dining, lack of conference space to collaborate) I cannot recommend AT&T Corporate to prospective employees. Stankey’s tone-deaf letter to employees essentially telling them their concerns are invalid did not improve morale in the company. Instead, Leadership has implemented inaccurate tools to measure and track employee time in office. These tools have consistently been inaccurate since implemented on a daily/weekly basis. Leadership has also been known to implement policies that directly impact employees with little to no notice. They have dictated WFH while renovation is occurring, giving specific dates, only to reintroduce full in-office time with a days notice with no regard to family planning.
