Pros

Pinkerton is a company with strong brand and history. It drives the organization to be prideful and that shows in its way of doing business. The company is loyal to it's employees and to it's clients as much as any for profit company can be. It is a strong family.

Cons

The HR process for recruiting and new hires is a bit dated. Look past this and seek out conversations with other Pinkertons to get real impressions of the company.
