Pros

If you are a manager or above, the annual bonuses are good. Benefits package and 401k are comparable with the marketplace.

Cons

Corporate politics was entirely too much interwoven into the culture at ADT. When ADT acquired Broadview in 2010, the environment in Irving, TX changed drastically, as if the soul of the collective campus was slowly crushed. Over 75% of employees moved on in subsequent years. It became very clear that the mothership in Florida was the only voice, and you either fell in line or you were insignificant. Don't work at ADT unless you work in Boca. I hope the spa, salon, etc. numbs you to being overworked and under appreciated... unless you play politics well, then more power to you.

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.
