Pros

Co-workers, for the most part.

Cons

Turnover is constant. Every time a new person comes on, they must be trained, checked, etc...all this costs the company money. Why not strive to keep the people who are there, who have been there, who know the job, routes, procedures? They are very concerned about driver safety, as they should be, but when it comes to ATM training, it's non-existent. "Just call and we'll walk you through it" is not training. And going to one-person trucks? Armored-car companies once had three crew-members: driver, jumper, and one guy who just stood outside the truck with a shotgun. Then it was two. Now it's moving to just one. This is greed, pure and simple. During a delivery, or ATM service, there is NO ONE watching that person. One head-shot and they're done, and the robber is rich. The absolute best part is a DOT loophole that lets this industry NOT PAY OVERTIME. You read that right...if you work 45, 50, 60, 65 hours, you'll get straight time. It's a joke. It's theft. And it happens every single day. Management, though? They'll be in some fine new rides, while THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ON THE ROAD EVERY DAY are driving beat-up hand-me-downs.

Pros

Only pros to the job were learning how ATMs worked and how banks got their money, its interesting work, and a good foot in the door for other careers security and/or law enforcement.

Cons

There are more cons than pros, during my time in loomis milwaukee (branch #5920) everyone in management and leadership seems to get away with unprofessional behavior, it seems as if all they care about is whether or not routes are being finished or if your stealing and they want to catch you. On multiple occasions I have told my former manager at loomis who still is employed there that I had problems with some of the leads and staff, she "addressed" it by throwing my name out and the gave them more ammo to keep behaving such ways, it happened with another former employee as well, let me not get started on the workplace relationships, the Milwaukee branch is called the brothel branch for a reason by their sister branches. When I first started there was a lead fired for having inappropriate relations with the tellers, then the new manager for the CMS vault department that got hired was my former lead from the CIT/AST department, no vault experience, only because he worked alot of hours and had some close relationship with the manager, he also had a history with having relations with the CMS employees and talking about it to everyone in the facility, thus leading to the women quitting their jobs. Hes no longer the CMS manager now but he became the operations manager now, he was also talked to by the branch manager about a picture that was circulating through the vault of his body parts and the branch manager still hired him to be the cms manager knowing it. There is no point in even going to HR with this company as well, they wont do much, they'll "address" things but the problems keep going on. Nobody deserves to be treated the way new hires get treated without knowing whats going to happen once they've been there for a couple of months. Im glad I quit this company because corporate only seems to care about how many contracts they can acquire and which branches make the most money.
