Pros

ADT has a slowly dissolving base of 'old-guard' employees that are generally competent and good to work with. Some positions at ADT allow limited telecommuting, depending on the manager. For salaried employees, it is rare to hear of a firing. Generally people who leave ADT are either laid off or leave of their own accord.

Cons

ADT's management lacks foresight and refuses to plan beyond the next fiscal period. They consistently pass up opportunities to save themselves money in the long term by investing in their important infrastructure. Without clear vision and leadership, they often fail to complete projects and then announce them as a success nevertheless, leaving a variety of redundant technologies in place with no clear standard.

Pros

Training, information, training wages, free trip!

Cons

Size and management, lack of support, changes in policies. Total disorganization, favoritism. The manager spends time with some people outside of work, those people get the inside track on better leads and inside access to information not available to all sales staff. Revolving door on sales staff kills morale. If the manager isnt buddies with you, expect to work hard for free! The manager has little to no time for you if a problem arises or a question comes up but has plenty of time for solitaire on the computer. Atmosphere causes great contention between sales staff and installation/administration/and management.
