Pros

Decent position for someone starting their new career, especially if you don't have many financial obligations.

Cons

Zero salary, 100% commission, you have to not only compete with a crowded industry but also ADT authorized dealers, other outside sales reps, and inside tele-market sales reps. The Orlando office had over 25 reps....every month 3-5 would be gone and 3-5 new ones arriving.....revolving door!

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.
