Pros

Fostered great relationships with my coworkers. Pay was high.

Cons

Pinkerton jumped at the opportunity to throw an employee under the bus if it meant keeping a client happy, regardless of how unreasonable or abusively clients treated us. Much of the Pinkerton leadership had little to no experience in managing large teams, working in the industry we were assigned, or even the basics of local HR law. Retaliation was rampant, and legal action was taken on at least one occasion by a former employee.

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.
