Pros

Great reputation in the business.

Cons

Awful pay with no bonuses or raises. No employee morale. Everyone is under trained. Everyone is expected to do much more than their job without so much as a "thank you". Complete disorder and awful leadership. Took away our option to have HMO insurance, made everyone have a deductible. Forced to take at least 4 hours off for an appointment when using PTO or sick time. Aren't allowed to even order a pizza for birthdays every 3 months. Jack Zahran (CEO) either has his head in the sand, or he is greedy, selfish and a terrible leader if he doesn't fix the awful situation at Pinkerton.

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.
