Pros

Relatively lax atmosphere given your handling 1 million in cash any given day. The management comes mainly from supervisors that know what they are doing. They were increasing their safety proceedures and training while I left. They pay you significantly more than other service industry jobs, but perhaps not enoughto make up for the risks.

Cons

They have perfected a system of keeping their money without giving you any of it. Mean while about every 6 months your entered into the lottery to get shot for someone else's money. The trucks are hot and often break down. The other drivers will mistreat your customers and get them pissed at you. Everything is run by the clock, being slow is not tolerated, but rarely punished. You have to perform well for years before you get any shot at a supervisor position.

Pros

Good training. Not too demanding in the learning curve.

Cons

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.
