i started off with adt back in july 2010. i sold my first system and the manager i was with, paul fleury, told me he would waive her activation fee of $99. when i sold my system, they told me i would make $300, but they would keep $50 for the application fee and the fee to do my background check. that was fine with me. when i left the company, i asked them when i would get my pay check. they told me 6 months after my termination date (which would be January 13, 2011). so i called them in decemeber to make sure i could still get my check January 13, 2011 and they said yes, it will be ready. i called them back January 11, 2011 to see if there was a certain time i could pick up my check. when i called they said i wouldnt recieve a check because they had to take out the $50 for the fees, $99 to pay the activation fee, and that there wasnt enough money to pay me also because my customer pays $30 a month for her system to be armed. do not become an employee of this company. they will screw you out of the money you worked for. you will work from sunrise to sunset and only "get paid" if you sell a system.

I work for Absolute Security and have been there for a little while in the Melbourne branch. I have not met Dave Wienstein but I have met his brother Curtis whom I think is a great guy. I love this job and have been very succesfull at it. On average I protect a family a day and have made some pretty good money doing it. But I am a hard dedicated worker who doesn't wine and cry like a little b***h, as you are clearly doing in your post on the website. This job is not for everyone. However, I have seen a lot of people already in my short time here go in and out of this carreer. The one thing that I have noticed is that the people who really want to be succesfull at this job are exactly that. There is no excuse to fail at an opportunity like this one. The sky is the limit and the only thing that can hold you back is yourself. Make all of the excuses you want but I'll tell you what. It doesn't make one bit of d**n difference who or what is going on around me at work. No one but me can go out and make money for my family to live off of so why would I dwell on what they think or what they are doing? The answer is simple, I wouldn't. It sounds like you were just a sorry excuse for an employee and wanted someone to blame it on. Why don't you take a look in the mirror. Im sure then you will find your excuse for failing yourself and everyone that depends on you. Stop expecting everyone to cary your sorry a*s through life and get up and do it yourself. Thats what's wrong with the world today. There are too many people expecting hand outs and aren't willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. You are truly pitiful.
