"Pay is competitive. Benefits are great. Physical environment is beautiful - very positive-appearing place to work. Employee discounts are generous. Micromanaged? Yes. Valued? No. Managers are never allowed to manage their people, but must cave in to flavors of the month by the Center Director. They should rename the position from Team Manager, to Team Bureaucrat, or Assistant Coach - there is no real authority in any supervisory position in Customer Care. My best day at AT&T was the day I gave my notice."

What don't you like about working at AT&T?
"Where to begin. Imagine an 80-hour workload compressed into a 40-hour week, in which you are still held accountable for not completing your work! For a customer service organization, there is absolutely no time devoted to the employees - only to performance metrics and process. The only people who like their jobs at this location are sadomasochists."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Look at how other call centers operate. Many call centers at AT&T have people that adore working there. Find out what they are doing differently and incorporate it! Fire the director. Quickly. Swiftly. Severely. That person has no place in customer service."
