Just got hired as a service tech. Have about 6 years doing fiber/ low voltage work wasn’t too happy with the pay they got me in at but company truck and “bonuses” seem like they would make up for it. Any one work this role? Any advice? I got hired originally for a low voltage role but the hiring manager said they think this would be a better fit for me not sure why. Are the commissions decent? What does a tech average a week?
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.

Be making a lot of money possibly but is the money worth It?
Is the customer technical support remote job as bad as everyone is claiming? I am on the fence about applying if i get accepted into it and was wondering about anyones experiences on it. I am mostly looking into it as a way to gain experience so that I could apply to other jobs down the road for help desk or other technical support jobs.
Any advice would be appreciated!
