Pros

No veichle tracker so you can basically start, finish and work whatever hours suit you really

Cons

All management cannot be trusted, they will lie to you aboit everything and anything. A lot of secret talking they also talk about people behind there back to other engineers but never have the *@//& to say anything directly. They advertise on job advertisements"career ladder", this is non existent and you will be continually lied to about why you can't move up this career ladder. Your career will only move backwards at adt, you are dumbed down to use only certain types of systems that only adt use. Sick pay advertised on jobs again as a benefit isn't really a benefit as it isn't compulsory, it's completely at your managers discretion. If he doesn't like you then you won't get any sick pay and he won't have to give you any reasoning, management never have to explain there decisions to anyone. They do have a Pa department but again they will always side with management not the engineers. Work is hectic and completely unorganised, prepare to chase equipment for weeks, no specs or plans for jobs, log onto so many different systems and Web pages you'll have a lost of 50 passwords, they'll also have to be changed entry couple of months. There Heath and safety zero harm policy they like to advertise is also non existent except on paper. Anything reported is never followed up by management. The more you can do the more you are taken advantage off and used.

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.

Pros

None other than a paycheck

Cons

Dominate you and push you even though it is hot and you are working hard, they will complain and yell at you about their crummy inventory system or people complain. They do not care if you are injured. Tell them and lose your job. The lady in charge is psychotic at best. Called me months after I didnt work there asking ridiculous questions and demanding answers. She's a short minority female that hates men apparently. Hates everyone and everything from what I saw. There's no peace at this job. If you keep it 3 months, you're an extremely hard worker.
