Pros

Compensation was great when I started there Good home/work balance Great support and education Opportunity is there for those willing to put in the time and effort

Cons

Pay plan changes every year, and over 5 yrs, got progressively worse for the sales staff Too much micro-management, cut out all the excess and let your sales people sell, then compensate them fairly. It's a shame when a sales person in the top 5% nationally is barely making 6 figures. Vacation plan for sales team is a joke. Extremely wasteful in terms of amount of paperwork (inside joke is that ADT stands for Another Dead Tree because of all the paperwork) and sheer volume of unnecessary materials they churn out every year.

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.
