Pros

It might feel okay when you first start, but after you are introduced to productivity programs in order for executive management to receive their employee utilization bonus your outlook changes

Cons

subtle disrespect towards union branches, overpaid executives, no support for middle management, north america productivity program that is sold as a benefit to customer service but only exists to allow executive management to receive their bonus for employee utilization.

Pros

My manager does a great job to giving positive or negative feedback but in a political manner. It's also a large company which means room for growth.

Cons

100% commission-ups are really high and downs are really low.

Acceptable entry level job

Business Outlook

Pros

Working for ADT is an acceptable entry level sales position. You are provided with some leads and pretty good training. You are given the freedom to work independantly most of the time. I found management to be very helpful and flexible with getting sales closed.

Cons

You are expected to be on call for six days during the week. You are told that you will make a certain amount of money if you hit the easily attainable goal. 90 percent of sales reps do not hit the goal every month. Company provided leads are are actually ones that the telemarketing staff could not close. You are selling something that other companies are giving away for free. You may be required to go door to door. Sales has a very high turnover.
