Pros

Flexible hours, always off on Sundays unless you choose to work

Cons

Management is terrible. The payment structure is disgraceful. When I first started there, commission was 50/50, you get paid half your money when you sell a system, then the other half when it got installed. However, they decided to change it where you get nothing when you sell it, and 100% when it gets installed. Besides wondering when the customer could get it installed, you have to rely on the techs to do their job right, but they don't. They always screw something up, yet they still get paid. If they do not close out the job properly, you don't get paid. The techs also have a union to protect them, so it's not like one bad job can get them fired. You also can't choose which techs you want, so you pretty much have to pray that you get a good one. I just couldn't rely on another person getting me paid, if I did my job right, i need to get paid for it; I have nothing to do with a bad tech.

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.
