Pros

I worked for ADT for over one year, I could not find one pro while working there. They have become a telemarketing company in which they want you to make blind phone calls daily instead of out working in the field.

Cons

Lack of equipment and product training. Quick start to train you on the ADT way of selling. Managers who want to hear from you after every sales call to see if and what you sold. Willing to give security systems away at no charge to make the "unit" sales, so the manager makes his quota/bonus, with out caring about the commission of the sales person.

Pros

I've worked for the company for 40+ years, I'm treated with respect and my efforts are recognized by my Director and other ADT leaders. They give me the autonomy to manage my department and value my experience and insight. They offer a solid benefits package. ADT leads by example with their cultural markers and ensures that rules and laws are followed. I love the collaboration I have with our other departments.

Cons

Obviously, we all want more money, especially given the prices of everything, it's always nice to make more money, but I've checked the compensation and benefits in similar positions outside of ADT and I feel ADT is paying a fair wage and when I factor in the benefits package, they are above average in overall compensation.
