I'm a Pinkerton...how cool is that?!?!

Business Outlook

Pros

The greatest thing, for me, about being a Pinkerton is you have the autonomy to make decisions. I am always learning and helping others to learn. While this is a "bad news business" (no one calls you when life is good), its great to show up someplace and see the look of relief on their face. Everyday brings a new challenge and it is up to you to find the right solution.The industry is always changing and so are we!

Cons

Some may find it difficult to work as a Pinkerton, as you are expected to be self sustained and self driven. I find so often many people are more comfortable, when the decisions which have to be made on a daily bases as a Director, are made by someone else.

Good company but uncertain future

Business Outlook

Pros

The company has great reach globally with talented people working with clients. Great heart and cooperation amongst the Pinkertons when I was there. Very entrepreneurial in spirit; giving a lot of latitude for personally driven business initiatives

Cons

The management seems driven by short-sightedness in their approach to business model (revenue growth, client acquisition, practice definition just to name some) The chief/cook/bottlewasher role that employees take on is hard for on-the-ground folks because there is no help to alleviate this problem!
