Pros

I met some genuinely great recruiters during my time there.

Cons

If it was not for the people I met while working there I wouldn't have a single positive thing to say. My time at ADT was easily the single worst recruiting experience I have had in my career. The job was to hire full commission salespeople at an unsustainable pace with absolutely no process or high volume tools to recruit effectively. The sales recruitment leadership there is astoundingly incompetent, they do not know what to do with professional employees. They would claim they had no interest in building an agency style recruitment department while simultaneously making decisions that were hurling the department towards that structure. They wanted agency level workload with compensation that doesn't even come close to what they were asking for. Their complete lack of self-awareness made itself clear with each passing day. Between that and the sheer nepotism they operate with, I cannot recommend any recruiter spending a significant amount of time working for ADT.

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.

Pros

I've worked for the company for 40+ years, I'm treated with respect and my efforts are recognized by my Director and other ADT leaders. They give me the autonomy to manage my department and value my experience and insight. They offer a solid benefits package. ADT leads by example with their cultural markers and ensures that rules and laws are followed. I love the collaboration I have with our other departments.

Cons

Obviously, we all want more money, especially given the prices of everything, it's always nice to make more money, but I've checked the compensation and benefits in similar positions outside of ADT and I feel ADT is paying a fair wage and when I factor in the benefits package, they are above average in overall compensation.
