Pros

Great people to work with Decent starting pay for unskilled labor good vacation and sick pay especially with seniority Benefits from the day you're hired including 401k matching.

Cons

Raises are less than cost of living and often employees who have been in the company for many years will be earning the same or even less than new people just being hired. Very little room for advancement and if you do advance, very often your job or your team either dissolves or moves to another center. The company is constantly looking for and finding ways to get more work out of less people by shifting people around and cross training for multiple jobs. It give the place a stock yard feel. Communication is so poor its worse than non existent. Sometimes the managers know whats going on but don't bother to tell the employees, sometimes they have no clue either. Very often the right hand doesn't know the left even exists. This is very embarrassing when you're explaining to a customer that yes, they did tell an operator something very important but because of how poorly the company communicates between departments, that information has no way to get to me. Ridiculous QA system that forces you to say and do things that neither feel natural nor help the customer in any way. Very little positive reinforcement but plenty of nit picking over the negatives. The technology that the company uses is over 10 years old and is constantly having problems, slow downs and crashes. The company is having a very hard time getting and keeping good employees. A few years ago they made some attempts at moral boosting but that's pretty much gone by the wayside. Managers were trained in ways to let employees know that they are an important part of the whole but that's gone by the wayside too. You get lots of vacation time but unless you schedule it the year before, you can forget about using it. Its only May and there are pretty much no Fridays available for the majority of the year.

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.

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.
