Pros

The ability to purchase guns cheap was cool. I bought a Glock pistol at the Blue label price and financed the purchase interest free through Loomis. It was kind of a hassle, but I did it.

Cons

The work environment was toxic. I was verbally and physically harassed by a coworker daily. I was made to come to work 20 minutes prior to clock in every day, unpaid, to open the facility. The trucks never worked safely. I was yelled at by a supervisor for reporting a truck without functioning turn signals, after telling him for two months that the turn signals didn't work. I had no actual training. I was made to carry cash while unarmed and unlicensed. There was no driver training beyond, "Drive fast." When I drove fast, I was written up. The benefits were awful and the HR rep forgot to tell us that applications for health insurance were due until the after they were due. I didn't get healthcare through the company because of that. My 401k was awful and I lost over $600 because of a bad company provided portfolio. My supervisor sexually harassed women while in uniform on the street. I once had to sit in a truck for 10 hours without a bathroom break because a vindictive coworker refused to break me out. It was an awful, awful job.

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.
