Pros

Benefits, knowledgeable employees, subsidized cafeteria, excellent amenities and location.

Cons

While I can not speak to other departments, the overall marketing department consists of a toxic culture that serves of no benefit to the overall functioning of the company. There is a lack of direction an inability to focus on the strengths of individual contributors. You seem to always look for who is leaving (either voluntarily or involuntarily) next. Management does not help in one bit. They are more concerned about their jobs that they are about maximizing shareholder value. Realistically, if you maximize shareholder value, you won't ever have to worry about your job. But the culture is based on tearing others down to save yourself. My over a year experience at ADT was terrible because the work did not come first. The politics did. Your manager will most likely be inept, will probably have little ability and will in all likelihood blame you for their deficiencies. It's probably a good thing the company is being taken over, hopefully the new owners and new management either clean house or change the culture. Don't work here.

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.
