Pros

This iconic company is follows a set of values set down in 1852, but are timeless: Integrity, excellence and vigilance. The whole company is in a rising growth period, and those able to adapt well to dynamic and challenging environments will find themselves right at home here. If you require rigid structure to feel good about your job, you'll probably want to keep looking; the company values well-communicated ideas almost as much as it values flawless execution and attention to detail.

Cons

Pinkerton demands nothing short of one's best effort, and for salaried people that means long days, many weekends, and interrupted social events are the norm. If you're looking for a work-life balance that promotes a vibrant social life outside of work, you will probably be disappointed. But this is a place where you get out of it what you put into it.

Pros

They were willing to hire me

Cons

Refused to pay enough to actually live. Functioned as hourly employees but were forced to work OT for free because of salaries. Anyone who wasn't a white man got extra rules and procedures and nitpicky grammar, etc thrown at them.
