Pros

- Once you learn the "game" you can get rocking and make decent money for a job that requires new education or skillset and will hire anyone with a pulse. - If you perform well / semi well a good chance you can get promoted to management as they tend to hire and fire rapidly. You have the same chance of getting fired once promoted. - Its a good short term job that you can make decent money in if you don't mind selling your soul and becoming the dreaded shady salesman you were afraid of.

Cons

- Management worst I've ever seen, but don't fret you'll have another manager within six months. - The company is a machine that will keep on churning and has done so for over 100 years as they like to tout. You suggestions, good ideas, complaints, hate mail will fall upon deaf ears. - If you just sit back and follow the rules doing everything your manager tells you - you will fail.

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.
