Pros

Good group of guys working at a new office willing to help you grow your sales pitch and be a better employee. Fair commission based compensation Good bonuses, do well get rewarded.

Cons

Its Door To Door Sales. Its commission only if your an outbound sales rep. so no sales=no $$$ Kinda of a Frat house mentality around the office. especially with the more higher ups Only 1 Day Off the whole week for newbies Generally knocking doors untill 8'o'clock at night.

Pros

Plenty of Training and opportunity for advance, decent pay, Work gets easier with time, Very Flexible.

Cons

Company needs to step up with their systems, they cannot expect to cover all of the US and Canada, when systems go down weekly, slowing down the whole process. Not a major issue as someone that worked for an IT department before, I understand that bugs and things of that nature happen, but ADT needs a little more quality in order to exceed expectations.

Pros

There are a lot of advancement opportunities.

Cons

I was told during my interview that it was a customer service position. Once I was hired and began training it was changed to outbound sales rep (telemarketing ). I thought this was very deceiving since I don't do phone Sales and would have never gone through the interview process. I guess that's why they do it.
