View of Employee
The view of the employee is normally a research process in which we find out the
background behind how they treat their employees and the benefits or issues that AT&T
might provide in their package of employment. I have the pleasure of using my own
experience through hiring, benefits, surpluses, and much more to understand the
mechanics of how AT&T works behind scenes. As a former employee sometimes people
can become bitter of their previous jobs but I, myself can conclude that I am nor bitter or

AT&T is by far not the easiest to work for but it does hold some great benefits at hand.

not only a huge benefit, so was the actual benefit’s system put in place. As an AT&T
employee, you receive a 401K, health and medical benefits, and FMLA benefits. Retail at
times can become gruesome but many companies do not offer a livable package to ensure
job security and health accidental issues. When I was 2 and half years into working for
