This in-depth review is genuinely years in the making.....
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.
