Pros

there really are not any to speak of, unless you prefer not being in the typical retail environment this may be the job for you.

Cons

Be prepared to do something that your college education never taught you how to do, door knock. Yes, this company and others like it still believe that knocking on doors will open the door to a sale. If you knock on enough of them you will eventually get one, even a blind squirrel finds a nut now and then. Be ware you may not be told this on your interview but your ability to receive company leads which are your life blood depends on you generating at least five sales on your own a la door knocking and cold calling.

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.
