Pros

They pay salaries on time.

Cons

Firstly, their HR is rude. When I tried to negotiate benefits, the HR lady alleged I was lying and then was pressured into closing the deal. Secondly, HR didn't even tell me when I would start and it was their client that told me my starting date. Apparently, HR was on holiday and forgot to inform and onboard me. Lastly, Pinkerton like to say that they take care of their employees, but once you're onboarded, you're at the mercy of the client and they'll only reach out to you when they have to do their yearly check-ins. For a company that prides itself on being America's oldest investigative service, this organization is shockingly disorganized and frankly is a joke.
