How employees describe working at AT&T
I appreciate the opportunities offered, but many benefits like 401K and vacation feel reduced. I work here mainly to meet basic needs. Without incentives for long-term commitment, morale suffers. If required onsite, please ensure adequate parking and workspace for productivity.
