Employee Testimonials

KERTON! PINKERTON! PINKERTON!class="new_p">

Even though ilyn't one of our core values, it definitely should be. Pinkerton strives to promote a familial bond between colleagues be it through company-wide announcements from the President that inevitably lead to someone chanting kerton! Pinkerton! something as simple as receiving a signed card on your birthday (sometimes it's the little things)! Honestly, I love my job. It's the best I've ever had, hands down-I don't dread coming into work every day, and I look forward to seeing my coworkers. I know how my work fits into the bigger picture and helps us grow as a company. It truly is a great place to work, and I'm incredibly proud to be a Pinkerton.

IFICATIONS SPECIALISTclass="new_p">

Supervisor is always available. Actually took her door OFF her cubicle to be MORE accessible to her employees. There is always someone available to help you if you have a question, or are struggling with something. I think management, and especially my supervisor in verifications is doing a GREAT job. We are always very busy, and I know my manager is always at her desk working right alongside us, before we get there and usually still there when we are leaving. I love my job and love working for Pinkerton.
