Great Career Experiences But Don't Look After Their Own.

Pros

Pinkerton is a reputed organization and delivers great service to their clients. The work is truly diverse and anyone wanting to obtain vast experience across the services offered in the security industry, Pinkerton is the company to work for.

Cons

Ultimately Management do not look after their own staff. Pay is below market average, there are no performance reviews and no solid structure for career progress. In the case of promotion Management are only interested in how cheap they can get the new person to fill the position. It leaves a bad taste and many employees do not feel valued. Operational staff have very restricted decision making powers, Many decisions have to go all the way to the top of the hierarchy. This often results in either no decision or a very slow decision being made. This is very frustrating and paints the picture that staff on the ground are not trusted.
