Pros

Cheap and great medical benefits that still cover domestic partnerships. Awesome atmosphere. Customers, I’ve read a lot of stories about others experiences, I was with the company for 8 years, I definitely had my fair share of “out there” experiences, but generally speaking, they’re great. Great discount.

Cons

Embarrassingly low pay for the amount of expectation put on staff. Very out of touch upper management.

Upper management is to interested in employees personal lives outside of work, completely unprofessional, awful training, awful hours, unrealistic sales goals, cares more about ADT and loyalty then customers experience, they don't care about their employees, I was told I would never move up in that store because of who I knew in personal life outside of work while also being told I had all the makings of a store manager.
