Pros

Honestly, there were not any pros. ADT has an extremely toxic working environment that expects you to devote more of your time to the business than to yourself and your family.

Cons

No on-boarding program - thrown into the deep end and let you figure out everything on your own: sink or swim; unrealistic expectations: work from home and children remote learning for school; lack of communication; no work/life balance - there is an unspoken expectation that 10-12+ hours per day need to be spent working; their systems are as antiquated as the company: no clear reporting, reporting delayed at least 2+ days, and no real time reporting. The environment is extremely toxic. I experienced management trying to play people against others several times. The daily stress and anxiety were unsurmountable - I could not relax, I could not sleep, and work was always on my mind.

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.
