Pros

ADT pays their wages on time, and offers a wide range of schedules, if you are prepared to wait. They clean the bathrooms daily and there are a few decent people working here.

Cons

At the Jacksonville Florida CMC (monitoring center) where I worked, there is a very bad and toxic culture of discrimination. People are discouraged from doing their job, both by management and by the other employees, who will see you as being a "Narc" if you so much as work a full day without fooling around like a child. In fact, management not only turns a blind eye to lazy, unproductive and rude employees, they protect them from being disciplined, at the expense of hard working and sensible employees. At ADT, I faced racial discrimination due to my English accent, which enraged the bad employees. I also had the audacity to be white and male, something that I was constantly receiving rude/hateful comments and even threats of violence for. When I addressed this with management, I was accused of being a "trouble maker" and management fired me for sending an email demanding an apology. Management did everything they could to look the other way, and ended up firing the one guy who: - Had great attendance - Worked hard for every customer - Went the extra mile in every situation - Unbelievably good skills at the job so that they could make room for some more rotating door employees to come in and screw up customer's security accounts left right and center.

Pros

Great brand name. Industry leader

Cons

Hard to work for a manager/management that continues to demoralize and demean sales team What I've seen and lived through over the last 2-3 years I can't honestly with good faith refer anyone to work at ADT Manager style makes most of the sales team want to transfer or even quit. 5 people on sales team quit with the last 6 months.
