Pros

Money is ok... Company truck

Cons

Was with them as a rep 10yrs and a Tech for about 8 years. You're just a number when it comes to corporate ADT. Towards the end of my tenure they were hiring sub contractors to do the work with little to no training trying to push out the senior techs. The senior techs would get all the BS jobs while the contractors got all the gravy work. Many 12 to 15 hour work days with unhappy customers due to ADT coming out with cheaper and more troublesome systems. Not a single tech seems to be happy here. About 4 senior techs quit within a two week period towards my two week notice. Good luck making family birthdays, kids events, or even able to hold a date with your woman without ADT messing up your evening due to their schedules and bad equipment.

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

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.
