Pros

There is a lot of diversity. I love the team I am on. My manager is amazing and helps me improve myself with the company. We have different types of Bergs that I am part of the disabilities. Love to meet different people in the company that I would not have met before.

Respectful leadership with fair compensation and good benefits

Patrol manager

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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.
