Pros

Medical & dental excellent. Opportunity to make good money is there as long as you know people, such as leasing agents, insurance agents, that are willing to work with you get leads or you build up these relationships when you start working but that's the "free work" part. You are required to do a LOT of self generated activities for NO PAY. So when you do make good commission, take into account the free work and a LOT of driving.

Cons

You will be completely micromanaged. Unless you consistently make your numbers but ONE bad month and management is all over you! They never seem to acknowledge that they don't pay you! Your required to drive to the office to make an hour of more in cold calls then team up and do self gen activities. Plus go work for free at booths, homeshows and whatever other brilliant idea management has. The customer service is terrible. There are many billing issues with customers. The system used to process paperwork is highly inefficient and VERY time consuming. You do many admin duties (again with no pay) and monthly gas allowance will get you ONE tank of gas.

Pros

Pros I truly enjoy working at ADT. I have the flexibility of a hybrid schedule, which allows for a great work-life balance. The company offers generous PTO, and more importantly, actively encourages employees to take the time they need to recharge. There’s also a strong sense of job security. ADT is consistently growing, and the steady flow of new hire classes reflects that stability. In my role, I get the opportunity not only to help people start their careers, but also to coach and support agents as they grow professionally and personally. Seeing that development firsthand is incredibly rewarding. On top of that, I work with an amazing team. The people here are supportive, collaborative, and genuinely care about each other’s success, which makes a huge difference in the day-to-day experience.

Cons

While compensation is generally competitive, I would love to see more opportunities for performance-based bonuses to help employees further grow their savings and feel rewarded for their contributions. Additionally, there is some opportunity for improvement in how the building facilities are managed to enhance the overall workplace environment.

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.
