Pros

I can only speak for the Atlanta Branch, but that branch has some awesome managers and workers. My co-workers were the best and were the only reason I stayed for 2 years.

Cons

First, I have been working at Loomis for 2 years so my comment about this company is based on 2 full years of observation. There is no diversity on the upper management team. They all consist of older, white men and it has been that way for 30 years. There has been no person of color or woman that has ever been in the upper management position (i.e. CEO, CFO) in this company. Loomis has no problem reserving these better paying jobs to white men but throw all their women and people of color at the bottom with the low wages, and there is no upward mobility. So, they have systematically designed this discriminatory system in place to keep minorities at the bottom, and I believe they do that to offset the high turnover rate (Loomis has the worst turnover rate that I have seen and this is coming from someone with 15+ years of retail experience----Loomis' turnover rate is worse than most major retail organizations) because they can always find a woman or a person of color to throw at the bottom but these same people will never move up to attain the higher paid positions. Trash company. Second, LOOMIS is an antiworker establishment. That means that they put their bottom line over their workers at ALL cost. I have never seen a company that goes out of its way to shaft its workers. From picking the cheapest and worst health insurance for us (Loomis' medical benefits is trash, just like the company) to shafting us on the pay and the hours that we are paid. I was paid $13 per hour to count millions of dollars a day. Does that sound right to you? $13/hr does not cover the accountability and the liability that comes with counting such large amounts of money, and we were not getting 40 hours per week (another shaft). We were lucky if we got 30 hours that week, as Loomis does not like paying its workers overtime because that would be time and a half (in the state of Georgia). Most of my co-workers had to get 2nd jobs because the amount of money that we were paid compounded with the limited amount of hours we were getting did not cover basic living expenses in Atlanta (or anywhere). I left the company recently to attend school and notice that they took my paid sick time (that was given to me) from my final pay check. What company do you know does that? If you decide to leave the company and you have taken sick time or personal time anytime throughout the year, Loomis will get that back (another shaft) in your final paycheck. Loomis will always find a way to get its money back from its workers; they simply do not value us enough not to. When I left, I was given no exit interview. They never asked me my input on my experience working at this company. In fact, as a worker, they will never ask you for your input or feedback on anything. Most companies ask for their workers' feedback on a regular, sometimes daily basis to improve the working experience. Not Loomis. Because they do not care. Workers are not valued at this company. We are a means to an end because at the end of the day we will just be replaced by another person. Don't get me wrong, most companies are like that too but they, at least, try to make their workers not feel that way by improving the working experience. Most companies have realized that their future is in their workers. So, these companies have stepped up their investments on their workers. Amazon gave their workers $3 dollar raises, and you can pretty much get your entire college tuition paid for by Starbucks. Loomis has done none of those things. At the end of the day, this is all about sustainability. Your workers are your future, and Loomis (as a whole), simply has not invested in its workers, and because of that, I do not believe in this company's future. I give Loomis about 5 more years before it really folds into acquisition. You can see this in their stock value. I would not recommend any of my personal friends to invest stock in this company because the stock value is horrible and this company has no future. That being said, if you plan to work here, make it temporary. Use this company to get to somewhere better because they are better out there.

Pros

I was able to work this job while in college to maintain benefits Moral of the pros: Have an out route

Cons

Lord have mercy on me.....where do I start?! Let me start by saying that if you're reading this you generally fall into one of two categories: 1) considering a job with Loomis (Seriously, God bless you current financial situation for considering this gig), or 2) previous employee curious to know if your experiences lined up with the majority of others With that said, the experience was rough......really fun at times but ultimately rough. During my tenure with the company my hourly wage was around $12 (definitely a struggle) but I've heard that this number has went up. In my opinion (I hate being subjective but this is the truth), the moderate wage does not equate to the phenomenal risk you take daily. While there are countless dangerous positions that one could be employed in, it is critical to have the trust and backing of the organization and this is not the case with Loomis. I saw coworkers be victimized, robbed, and unfortunately even shot so be cognizant that Life is Real. *very sad shrug and small tear* Hot trucks.....yikes. Stay hydrated. I found myself in the traditional American situation: If you work hard, you'll earn the opportunity to do other peoples job [for the same pay]. Needless to say, if you're the "fast tech, knocking out ATM's in under 7 mins"......you could get to lead but yeah, what type of Bobby Prize is that really?? Working sun up to sundown? I'm all for hard work but DOT regulation lines were definitely straddled. In all, me and a few of my former colleagues used the hardships and lessons of Loomis to become managers, directors, analyst, executives, police officers, fire fighters.......with "there is happiness after Loomis" being the biggest takeaway.

Pros

There are no pros with this company

Cons

Complete bullies. They have no respect for staff. Managers threaten and swear at crew. Company procedures don't exist when branches are under pressure to perform but if your face don't fit the company procedures they encouraged you to breach yesterday for the benefit of the business, they will use against you tomorrow to get rid of you. Don't trust this company. A cowboy outfit
