Hi! I just received an offer from ADP for an Associate District Manager role, and this would be my first sales position. I’ve been doing admin type work for about 5 years, so I’m making a pivot into sales/commission-based work.
I was talking to a friend in sales, and she asked if I’d have a territory or if I could sell to anyone. I checked the job description and it mentions a “defined territory.” I also looked at other sales roles on ADP’s site, and it seems like most of them are structured that way.
Is that normal for sales roles? I think I’d prefer something with a broader reach (like statewide), so I’m curious how limiting a territory actually is in practice—especially for someone new to sales.
Also, two quick questions if anyone has insight:
- How does ADP handle employment verification? Do they mainly verify your most recent role, or go further back?
- What’s their drug testing process like (specifically regarding THC, since I’m in Texas)?
For context, I didn’t lie on my resume, but I didn’t include every single past role.
Any insight would be super helpful—thanks!
