Pros

The only positive thing I could say about this "job" is that you learn really fast how poor the sales skills are of your fellow associates. Decent benefit package. Good coffee

Cons

They hire anybody with a pulse and who's had ANY kind of sales training. Even that's questionable. The technical product training and "sales" training are almost non existent. You have to figure most of it our on your own or are suggested by management to get advice from your fellow sales reps, who are about as experienced as you. This is the typical "throw crap against the wall, some sticks, most dont" business. Their compensation package "claims" that you will make $50,000 your first 12 months IF you attain certain sales quotas. (The vast majority of the reps dont / wont make anywhere near that - assuming they stay on for 12 months)

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.
