Pros

Benefits are good, you can transfer almost anywhere after one year. Has a great reputation, gets you in the door.

Cons

The internal workings hurt the Sales force. I have never worked in a company that treats the Sales force like step children. The base salary is insane for the amount of work you have to put in to get anywhere near Quota. The Sales force has to design the system, make the floorplan, collect the money, make sure the equipment is ordered in a timely manner, make sure installation goes there in a timely manner. Deal with all customer issues, work on 6 different systems to create the job. And when you have time, sell new business.

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.
