Pros

ADT pays their wages on time, and offers a wide range of schedules, if you are prepared to wait. They clean the bathrooms daily and there are a few decent people working here.

Cons

At the Jacksonville Florida CMC (monitoring center) where I worked, there is a very bad and toxic culture of discrimination. People are discouraged from doing their job, both by management and by the other employees, who will see you as being a "Narc" if you so much as work a full day without fooling around like a child. In fact, management not only turns a blind eye to lazy, unproductive and rude employees, they protect them from being disciplined, at the expense of hard working and sensible employees. At ADT, I faced racial discrimination due to my English accent, which enraged the bad employees. I also had the audacity to be white and male, something that I was constantly receiving rude/hateful comments and even threats of violence for. When I addressed this with management, I was accused of being a "trouble maker" and management fired me for sending an email demanding an apology. Management did everything they could to look the other way, and ended up firing the one guy who: - Had great attendance - Worked hard for every customer - Went the extra mile in every situation - Unbelievably good skills at the job so that they could make room for some more rotating door employees to come in and screw up customer's security accounts left right and center.

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.
