      Residential Sales Representative Interview

      May 26, 2016
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ADT (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2016

      Interview

      Be prepared, interviewing process is a long, laborious process. At least one initial phone interview, pre-screening, extensive back ground and drug testing. I interviewed with two Managers for two different Sales Positions

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      First Interviewer posed scenarios of possible situations that would be considered even threatening or potentially dangerous. This was an outside sales position, interviewer asked me to consider that I would be going into neighborhoods that could be crime ridden and that there could be unsavory activity going on near the site/home where the Sales Appointment would be scheduled. Interviewer even hinted that I was too polished and possibly over qualified for the position even though I went through an extensive prescreening process. It would appear that he was seeing if I would become so rattled during the interview, that I would opt out of considering the position. It almost appeared as if he was not “invested” in my qualifications as a potential candidate but rather required to interview me as part of the company’s hiring standards and procedure

      Question 2

      The second Interviewer for the "Inside Sales" position was much more polished and professional. In fact at the beginning of the interview he actually stated that his approach was considerably different than the first Interviewer that I encountered. Again, the second Interviewer conveyed that he felt that I was over qualified for the position even though I went through an extensive prescreening process.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at ADT (Aurora, CO)

      Interview

      Fast and to the point. Basically letting you know that after a brief training period you're 100% commission with no base pay. I wouldn't recommend this job if you need any sort of consistent income.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Very basic, obvious they just needed people.

      Detroit, MI
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at ADT (Detroit, MI) in Oct 2020

      Interview

      Conversational, asked them about work life balance and mentioned you work until 5pm and could definitely make over $100k. That was definitely not the case with customer care scheduling appointments past 5pm and managers having you cold call people after 7pm

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me why you want to join ADT? Why should we choose you? Are you ok with 100% commission?( Manager will tell you the majority of the reps will make over $80k - not the case) one rep out of 85 did
