Generally a good place to work, high energy and good benefits
Administrative Processor (Former Employee), Greenville, SC – March 27, 2013
Pros: technology, people
Cons: management
I worked in two different positions in the company and I have to give a very positive review to my position as Regional Admin. Good Manager, good enviroment and loads of support from Corporate.

However, going to work in another state and working as Admin Processor was like night and day. Management was very negative and truly showed their lack of concern – more... for employees and customers.

Typical work day entailed reviewing contracts, utilizing various company specific databases to book, edit, research, assisting sales and install teams, customer issues, backing up work load on spreadsheets, and invoicing.

One of the most enjoyable parts of my job were some of the people I met; co-workers as well as some customers.

The hardest part of my job was the continuous change of policies and lack of management. Our particular office was very negative and very draining. – less

Coordinating install appointments for Tampa and Southwest Florida
Install and Service Coordinator (Current Employee), Henrietta, NY – March 26, 2013
Pros: laid back enviroment
Cons: pay
Onsite report is to be completed by 0900. Calling technicians for the estimated time of arrival for their next jobs, open work orders and to schedule to complete installations previously started.

The hardest part of the job is having enough time to complete all the tasks at hand. The most enjoyable part is creating customers for life and saving lives.

Amazing and Fulfilling Company to work for
tech inbound customer service (Former Employee), Henrietta, NY – March 20, 2013
As a previous employee of ADT Security Services, I believe that they are an amazing company to work for. They have amazing benefits, the staff is very friendly and helpful when needed. The main focus of the job was to take inbound calls from customers and technicians and help them as best as possible. The hardest part of the job, by far, was dealing – more... with the unruly customers that nomatter what was said to them they were just relentless and would yell and scream at you like you owed them something. – less

Was at one a great place to work
Customer Care Specialist (Former Employee), Knoxville, TN – March 11, 2013
Pros: they do have incentitives at times to make the work place fun
Cons: not that easiest place to work with you if you have things that come up
Was at one time a great place to work but they changed their values after a merge. We were once Brinks who changed to Broadview Secuirty who was all about our customers.Those things changed after ther merge with ADT.I once loved my job and also had a great supervisor but after getting a new supervisor and a few other things I begin to not like my job – more... and also felt that my supervisor wasn't there for me as much as she could've been like she was with other employees. – less

Kozz – April 3, 2013

I also was an employee of Brinks Home security. They used to joke that I would bleed Brinks blue if you cut me. I loved my job and took it serious.After the name change to Broadview so we could be sold on the open market it all went down hill. Tyco was the culprit they have the deep pockets that purchased broadview and adt at one time with no sense of how to run either company. Just knowing it would be the largest security company in the nation. Slowly ruining the reputation of both the BRINKS and ADT names. Truly sad.

Unless Desperate for work, STAY FAR AWAY!
Outside Sales Representative (Former Employee), Atlanta, GA – March 8, 2013
Pros: free food on call nites, free online computer courses.
Cons: territories can be far from your home, you must use your own car, micro-management, can be very low pay.
Typical high pressure commission only sales job. If you are not used to a commission only structure, don't even consider it. Seasoned sales reps should be OK if u have a side hustle(job). Newbies don't even waste your time unless you just want to say you have a job. Typical day includes cold calling, door to door prospecting, utilizing computer data – more... base to obtain leads. Some days include late night appointments/ call nights. – less

Good Start
Technical Support Agent (Former Employee), Jacksonville, FL – March 6, 2013
This company is a great start into the customer service field. They give you great training and benefits. However the environment was very draining and negative. The managers were not approachable and co-workers were very rude. The environment was much like high school and not a positive one.

Would not recommend this place to anyone
Service Coordinator (Former Employee), West Henrietta, NY – February 28, 2013
Pros: health benefits were great and pretty cheap, quick advancement
Cons: treated like a kid, treats customers poorly, pay, training is useless, management is fake, company did not take in account any previous experience when hiring, advancement is quick, but pay increases with each advance are zero to a few cents.
Everyday was exactly the same thing. There was nothing different from day to day. Same tasks, same people, basically working towards nothing.

Management is useless. They promote a lot of them from within, so most of them show they have little or no management experience at all. Everyone in management is fake and pretends like they care, but it is very – more... obvious that they do not.

The most enjoyable part of the job was when I told them I was leaving.

I can honestly say this is a job I cannot take a single thing from. The software we used was tailored exactly towards them so knowing it is pretty much useless at any other company in the world.

The hardest part of the job was willing myself to get up and go everyday.

Getting your shift changed is a nightmare. It is actually better for your employment record to call in sick rather than be 5 minutes late. Also, good luck using that vacation they give you.

This place is for people with no skills and have no motivation to move themselves up in the world.

Training is useless. They will teach you how the software, but if a customer has a question about their equipment you have to transfer them to someone else. It would help if ADT would at least show their new hires what the equipment looks like and give them some basic training on it. – less
