Helps you overcome shyness when meeting strangers and knocking on doors on the field.

Lack of communication in levels of management and corporate team competes with local ADT dealers-confusing to customers!

Pros

Lots of freedom Brief training salary Decent product training Continuous sales support. Small auto allowance Adt is a Nationwide company so you can transfer just about anywhere you want ( if your at quota )

Cons

Adt has a 100% commission based salary structure. This can be good and bad. Commission only jobs can be lucrative if the individual is motivated and a good salesman. If you consider yourself to be just average at selling you'll probably fall in the the 95% turnover category. Most sales jobs have high turnovers, but ADT by far , has the highest I ever seen or heard of. The average tenure at the company is about three to four months. ( This is when the training pay stops) . ADT offers no PTO for the sales team! So if you want to take off for a week or two , you don't get paid. In order to make 70-80 k you must work about 60-70 hrs per week. Not a great work / family balance.
