Pros

Lots of hours. Little chance of lay offs due to turn over.

Cons

High turn over. Horrible working conditions I.e. Hot trucks year round. Management is powerless to fix it. Corporate only cares about profits. Management encourages bad customer service to speed up the routes. Management will not listen to crew leaders to make the routes more efficient. Most trucks have over 500,000 miles on them and break down constantly. Management encourages hate and discontent to keep hours low. Company doesn't want to honor the contract they signed with the union. We have not gotten new trucks since Garda took over 7 years ago!!!

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.
