Alarm.com Pros and Cons

Pros

Alarm.com is an incredibly social and fun place to work. Your co-workers tend to become really great friends that you enjoy hanging out with outside of the office. Inside the office it's a work-hard play-hard kind of atmosphere. There are plenty of opportunities to work on cool and challenging projects. The benefits are really good and depending on your manager, it can be a personally rewarding/but rarely financially rewarding place to work.

Cons

Alarm.com typically pays below the market standards by a minimum of 10% and a maximum of 30%. Very slow career growth opportunities and promotions and added responsibilities are not usually met with added pay. I like to think the freedom of Alarm.com allows employees to work on cool projects which are good experience and good for your resume but after a while you've done your time and it's probably good to move on and leverage your new skills somewhere else. You could come in and work extremely hard, or come in and work very little, and it's likely no one would know the difference as long as you take care of your core responsibilities.

Pros

The people are incredibly intelligent and great to work with. It’s overall got a startup vibe and there’s plenty of opportunities to get your feet wet with multiple and various projects. I really liked seeing sick days become wellness days and the retroactive paternity leave.

Cons

Compensation is overall low and there’s not much room for growth. Middle managers don’t actually manage you to grow, they manage their work and yours and don’t have the time for anything else. Work/life balance depends on how often and assertive you can set boundaries and manage up. This job is like your first car. Use it to learn to drive. Once you know how, get a better one.

Pros

Some of your fellow call center drones will be cool people.

Cons

Little opportunity for advancement, and if you do get a promotion you'll be doing four peoples' job for one person's pay. Just a standard call center pretending to be a hip and cool tech company.
