Pros

Some great coworkers, great advice given for a future in sales.

Cons

The company will lie to you at every last turn, from your job interview, to your training, all the way to your final days. Commission pay - you're told salary plus, door to door knocking - you'll be told appointment only. Sales techniques border on harassment, purposefully break solicitation laws and try to cruise around to hide from the police should they be called. Ignore constant emails from HoA's requesting they cease and desist. A lot of long hours for very little pay... If any. No sales, no pay. Not even enough to bring you up to minimum wage.

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.
