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

Pros I truly enjoy working at ADT. I have the flexibility of a hybrid schedule, which allows for a great work-life balance. The company offers generous PTO, and more importantly, actively encourages employees to take the time they need to recharge. There’s also a strong sense of job security. ADT is consistently growing, and the steady flow of new hire classes reflects that stability. In my role, I get the opportunity not only to help people start their careers, but also to coach and support agents as they grow professionally and personally. Seeing that development firsthand is incredibly rewarding. On top of that, I work with an amazing team. The people here are supportive, collaborative, and genuinely care about each other’s success, which makes a huge difference in the day-to-day experience.

Cons

While compensation is generally competitive, I would love to see more opportunities for performance-based bonuses to help employees further grow their savings and feel rewarded for their contributions. Additionally, there is some opportunity for improvement in how the building facilities are managed to enhance the overall workplace environment.
