Pros

If you don't have a family, or have too much free time in hand, then you can make lots of hours here. Average hours can range from 45-70 hours a week. They sometimes pay for both your D&G licenses. They try to work with school schedule, or anything else as long as you let them know ahead of time.

Cons

Pay for drivers is 12.75 (14.75 for night shift) and will not go up. Pay for the messenger that gets off the truck and deals with money is 14.75 (16.75 night shift). It feels very under paid when you have in mind you are constantly dealing with millions of dollars daily, and you are a constant target wherever you go.

Good training. Not too demanding in the learning curve.

Not a whole lot of work where I live. Working out of town 1 day a week part-time with a long commute.

Pros

The role provides the opportunity to meet a diverse range of people, oversee multiple sites, and stay active throughout the day. The constant movement and variety help keep the work engaging and dynamic.

Cons

Supervisors are often overwhelmed by the number of accounts they are responsible for managing. They are required to conduct site checks within specific timeframes, regardless of the distance between locations, which can be challenging and time-consuming. Additionally, staffing shortages and heavy workloads can force supervisors to cover posts themselves when no one on the roster is available or willing to take an assignment, preventing them from completing other critical responsibilities. The company appears to follow federal law only to the extent necessary to avoid legal repercussions. As a member of the military reserves, I have observed that legally mandated rest periods following military duty are not always adequately considered by management when scheduling employees. This can create unnecessary fatigue and make it more difficult to balance military obligations with civilian work responsibilities.
