Pros

I met some genuinely great recruiters during my time there.

Cons

If it was not for the people I met while working there I wouldn't have a single positive thing to say. My time at ADT was easily the single worst recruiting experience I have had in my career. The job was to hire full commission salespeople at an unsustainable pace with absolutely no process or high volume tools to recruit effectively. The sales recruitment leadership there is astoundingly incompetent, they do not know what to do with professional employees. They would claim they had no interest in building an agency style recruitment department while simultaneously making decisions that were hurling the department towards that structure. They wanted agency level workload with compensation that doesn't even come close to what they were asking for. Their complete lack of self-awareness made itself clear with each passing day. Between that and the sheer nepotism they operate with, I cannot recommend any recruiter spending a significant amount of time working for ADT.

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.

Pros

None other than a paycheck

Cons

Dominate you and push you even though it is hot and you are working hard, they will complain and yell at you about their crummy inventory system or people complain. They do not care if you are injured. Tell them and lose your job. The lady in charge is psychotic at best. Called me months after I didnt work there asking ridiculous questions and demanding answers. She's a short minority female that hates men apparently. Hates everyone and everything from what I saw. There's no peace at this job. If you keep it 3 months, you're an extremely hard worker.
