Pros

Nice HQ features and location.

Cons

Too many former ATT employees creeping in to the company creating a cultural shift. From what used to a laid back friendly environment the company is becoming an oppressive institution with countless pointless meetings, red tape and office politics of all sorts. Just watch the "Office Space" one more time to get an idea.

Pros

I had a great experience and benefitted from great leadership, progressive growth opportunities, and exceptional colleagues. The company cares about its employees, and offers exceptional benefits.

Cons

The recent news of the merger (ok, let's be honest...acquisition) by Charter has many people worried about the future and preparing for the worst. There will undoubtedly be cultural changes and I know many people will be frustrated by the new norm.

Pros

Good benefits, sometimes free food, equipment provided

Cons

Intense micromanaging, every second has to be logged. Everything is an upsell even when callers are asking for help. Agents will add things to accounts without customer knowledge just to make numbers. Unethical practices by agents especially overseas agents.
