Pros

I love the product, the managers too.. When they understand the problem, the management to whom I reported and the company truly does have a philosophy of doing the right thing. And, this comes from the top down.

Cons

Compensation plans of various departments do conflict and do not foster a positive team environment. Install seems to have more power than Sales, which is kind of like the tail wagging the dog, or perhaps just a 2 1/2 legged dog .... Neither of which can hunt. Sales Management makes excuses for installers who provide poor customer service and install management does not respect sales (perhaps in words but not in action), both resulting in charge backs for sales. They could really benefit from Team Building courses and how to effectively work together (without Sales always having to defer). You really must enjoy doing everything, and handling every detail, long days, feeling alone much of the time, and tolerate hearing the same message daily, sell, sell, sell . . . Or be good at ignoring it. If you can, it is a great company with a great product. ... With 100% employee turnover, the numbers speak for themselves.

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.
