ADT reviews

When you apply, the company says they will provide you with 4 company appointments a month and you need to self generate 8 sales a month for a total of 12 total sales a month target. They say at 12 sales you will make $60,000 a year. The problem is I go an entire month and do not get a company appointment so If i get my 8 self generated sales, the way the compensation plans works out, You make closer to $30,000 a year. Also, a big percentage of sold jobs do not get installed and some weeks you get no commission checks because the company provides Extremely unqualified leads to the point where you can spend 3 days chasing leads with no sales. When you finally do get a company appointment it is great because it usually turns out being a sale. Also, you are commission but they treat you like a w-2 employee, the have mandatory conference calls and in office meetings with NO PAY. Every tuesday you have to be in the office in the morning for training for 3 hours and you do not get paid.

No base salary. Learned shortly after becoming employed that some salespeople would be brought on with a base. Descending training bonus that is entirely too low and descends rapidly, doesn't match the time it actually takes for a salesperson to get up and running. Was told that you get more company leads than what is actually being given. In order to make the most out the job and receive more compensation you need to be in a position to self generate. Needs better more structured training. You learn as you go which is fine however, it creates a longer learning curve because you don't know what you don't know until you're faced with a situation. Wasn't fully trained on all software systems to fully be successful. When selling dealer accounts it could take months to receive commission. The internal appointments could stand to be better qualified. A lot of appointments are tasked incorrectly and gives salesperson the wrong perception of the direction the sell could go. Also, thing could against you that you do not have control over such as if a customer cancels appointment before ever meeting with you.
