Pros

If you are in sales, you have the ability to set your own schedule. I have found a lot of good people at ADT, especially those that have been with the company for a long time.

Cons

They (Tyco) are now attempting to micro-manage the entire workforce, with disastrous effects on productivity. The layers of management, the rediculous amounts of unneccesary paperwork, and a fear of speaking out, are choking any ability to improve the company from within. ADT uses Sarbanes Oxley and Six Sigma, but to such an effect that it is detrimental to production and morale. The local office have a revolving door mentality for their sales reps, so the turnover is very high.

Pros

Job Secuity and professional image. Very vlexible in regard to working times and hours. Locations of work also vary which help eliminate boredom. The office workers in the buildings were very nice and professional. I enjoyed walking clients to their cars and monitoring the camera equipment.

Cons

Bad hours of work, pay is okay. Sometimes had to stand out in bad weather.

Pros

Independence and the ability to create sales business within a business.

Cons

The upside for my role is you are compensated for hard work in the form of commissions. Downside, in a recession sales are tough to come by.
