Pros

Paid weekly Overtime is optional and not mandatory Allows for external priorities like family, school, and life. ADT seriously promotes internally even if the candidate is unqualified and inexperienced. Turnover rate is incredibly high, so you meet a lot of new people.

Cons

I worked for the Field Support Center while I finished my last few semesters of my bachelor's program, and this was literally the worst job I have ever had. The employees at all levels are super ghetto, uneducated, and lack proper work ethics. The pay is terrible for a call center and is probably why ADT cannot hire and retain good employees. There is no communication between departs. The sales department would run a huge sale and not forewarn the Tech Support department making it impossible to staff appropriately. Training is awful. You definitely learn more on the job than you ever do in training. The people monitoring alarms have no idea what the alarms mean or how to respond to them according to procedure. The documentation is either incomplete, outdated, inaccurate, or impossible to decipher. Management strongly plays favorites. Grossly micromanaged. Employees committed serious ethical and legal offenses (drugs, drinking, and inappropriate flirting) while at work with no consequences.

Pros

Decent pay when you can make money.

Cons

Totally inconsistent scheduling. Bosses make promises they can't keep. Was told during interview I would be getting 12-15 company appts a month...before I left I was only getting maybe 4. The rest of my time was spent calling and knocking on doors. Management not very supportive. For being one of the oldest alarm companies in America, a surprising number of people haven't heard of them. Too many 3rd party companies selling products even cheaper than corporate does. Customers don't care that they are getting somewhat outdated equipment if it all performs the same functions
