      Layoffs Just Beginning - IT Network Engineer ADT Employee Review

      Pros

      During my time of employment, I liked my job and I really don't have any seriously bad things to say. However, it always concerned me that the company would gain 1 million new customers a year AND lose 1 million current customers a year. Not sure how long company will last at that rate of customer dissatisfaction

      Cons

      Layoffs are beginning now that the company has merged with ProtectionOne. I was in the first round of layoffs with absolutely no indication this would happen and AFTER I was told there would be no layoffs (I know, typical lie from a company after a merger). Left with nothing and was laid off over the telephone. Was told I would get a small severance of which I have yet to see anything. I have contacted company over and over and they will not return calls. They basically screwed over 200 people big-time and have left many of us financially in serious trouble. I know layoffs happen -- it's happened to me before in my industry -- but I've never had a company conduct layoffs in such a shoddy fashion and offering zero support after. Not cool.

      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.
