Network Manager

in Columbia, SC

"High micromanagement, high stress levels, and no feeling of job stability."

What do you like about working at AT&T?

"The salary and benefits are very good. Coworkers are great."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Have a low enough standard of living so that you don't get trapped."

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

"The extreme level of micromanagement and oversight. The constant feeling that any mistake will land you on the street. Rules to force extreme detail in work, and then the extra busy work that prevents you from doing it properly. Then, having to take shortcuts to finish on time and risking a violation of policy from one of the many auditing groups who have never done the job under the new guidelines, and have all the time in the world to find a mistake (a.k.a. bean counters)."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Loosen the reins. Let managers manage instead of micromanaging. Establish a standard level for the next higher manager, so that being unlucky in the group you're in doesn't stifle management ability or decision-making. Better yet, create a more stable working environment that isn't managed by fear."
