Pros

If your are a masochist this company is for you!

Cons

I worked in the ADT Call Center. The call center culture is that of a middle school. Filled with Drama Queens, Clicks, Teachers Pets, Bullies...the Entire Gamut! The team managers are glorified baby sitters. They treat ALL the employees as if they are children and with indifference and condescension. Professionalism is Severely lacking from management down. I was much older than most of the children they hire. Most hired are barely out of high school and in their first years of college. The level of professionalism from these child-adults is VERY low, so the management has very low standards of what is considered acceptable behavior. The policies regarding compensation are vague and ever changing :( Your base pay is minimum wage or a little higher, maybe $9/hourly. With that being the case you cannot afford for them to be messing around with your commissions and how they are earned and paid. ADT is constantly trying to increase their dollars and the productivity of the call center but the call center moral is HORRIBLE!!!! The only people I knew that liked working their were the teachers pets.....for obvious reasons.

Pros

They now pay mileage and supply you with an Ipad.

Cons

100% commission which is not always accurate and almost impossible to fix. They are very micro management and now require their salespeople to work 1 Saturday a month. Some salespeople would hold back sales to satisfy sales manager but no one really sold anything new on Saturday. Small Business owners are too busy working on Saturday.

Pros

- not too much - it looks good on my resume - the benefits package including 401k

Cons

- after training, this is an all commission position - micromanagement runs rampant in this company - I think managers play favorites with inbound sales calls.. I don't get many
