What don't you like about working at AT&T?

"Layoffs seem to be more imminent in this field of work than in others--even before the recession (I personally went through two, oddly enough they weren't while I held a sales position). Also, without trying to sound too biased, the challenging but rewarding work environment could be a bit too challenging, i.e. making performance demands that, let's say, cannot be sustainable for long periods of time. However, in a way I do kind of believe that is now the work industry in general---try to get more performance with less reward. So in that case, they are right in line with the way business seems to be trending these days."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Well, especially with sales career environments, to try to set realistic goals for your employees that are truly sustainable and not just rely on a bunch of statistical and analyzed data that doesn't always necessarily figure in the human factor."
