Vantaggi
This is an uncapped all-commission job. You may pull in about 60k your first year if you have no sales experience. It will grow over time. Schedule flexibility is good. If you need personal time for a lunch or Dr. appointment, it's easy to block it off and take it. You get paid on the number of installed sales you make in a month, so once you get the hang of it you get paid well. Need more money? Talk to more people and create more opportunities. More opportunities, means more sales, means more money. You have to treat this business like you would your own business. The company rewards and celebrates you for exceeding your goals, and the goals are not unreasonable. ADT works hard to give as much training and in-person mentoring as possible to make you great.
Svantaggi
The biggest challenge is: you have to accept and embrace the daily grind. Before you become a well-paid top producer, you have to become an average producer. Before you become an average producer, you'll have to work hard to learn the ropes. Yes you have to do cold calls on the phone and in person. Yes you have to be rejected. That's the game. Get in networking groups as fast as you can. If you clam up when conversations get tense--as they sometimes do when talking about pricing--then this will be a hard and maybe an impossible job for you. Your weekly pay will not be stable like a salary job. You have to expect you'll have a week here and there with no sales and no $$. You plan for this by always having a surplus, so don't spend all your kick a** paychecks, keep some in the bank for a few weeks you don't expect. Again, treat this job as if it were your own. Some weeks you get paid well, other weeks, you may have to tighten your belt.
