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.

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.
