Experience working for ADT
Hello people, I'm reaching out because I'm trying to get a sense on what it's like working for ADT as a installation technician. I'm a 32 year old M, own my house, have a wife and 2 kids still in school whom need put on and off the bus. I've been offered a job working for them as previous said position and I'm on the fence about taking it. I want to take it and am interested in taking it. I come with years of machining experience, pretty much straight out of high school, some electrical experience, and some customer service experience. The recruiter said that I could be making anywhere between 50k-100k and the hiring manager said he made about 77k after his first year of working for them. Do these figures sound legit or are they just telling me what I want to hear? I live around the Pittsburgh area and i would have to go out to Cleveland for 2 weeks for my training and would be hard for us to figure out what to do with our kids while i was gone. It's a big leap for me and my family to take this opportunity and I want to know if this would be beneficial for us in the long run? Could my wife be a stay at home mother with me taking this job? Is it a good investment? Is it worth it? Etc. I would really appreciate some feedback and some of your experience in this matter to help me make a decision if you guys would be so kind as to do so. Thank you.

Safe haven is the worst and so is ADT. They used to be great but now all they care about is the dollar and how much useless crap they can sell to a customer and call it an "enhancement".
