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

Good company to work for, huge customer base and big brand that sells itself. They pay well when you get deals signed. You get a lot of freedom when you perform well

Cons

Pay is full commission. It’s a lot of self hunting and prospecting, Not a big deal but that’s a deal breaker for some. A lot of the job you learn as you go, you’ll start to get familiar with the equipment and the sales process. When you don’t perform you will be micromanaged. Company does not like to “fire” so they will ride you to help you get on. Track if you’re not making quota.
