I am truly honest when I say, management is Pathetic!!! I have only been here for a month,  and I have been trying to give this company the benefit of the doubt and time to work on their flaws, but NO! Realistically, if you are in my same position, and you have BILLS to pay, stay with this job until finding something better. My first week seemed to flow quite fine.  I received 40 hours, and the posts I was sent to weren't mediocre. However,  I have noticed that management lacks problem-solving skills. There are people who go check in at work,  then leave,  and steal hours...and there are people who fall asleep and do absolutely nothing. As I work overnights,  and am an exception to that, I  still get calls from corporate.  I do my job,  I don't complain,  but instead of a tiny ounce of appreciation, I am called about BS! If the client has an issue with you,  if the Site Supervisor has an issue with you,  or if you think you are doing great, and someone tries to nit pick at every little thing, you will be called in to the corporate office to meet. Man, security is too easy for a company to write you up and make you have a meeting for every little thing. My advice to management would be, stop treating your employees as though they are beneath you and everyone who holds authority. Appreciate your employees,  and respect them because we are all adults! Stop handling petty situations with anger and a mentality to write up and terminate people. Security companies are contacted, and are a dime a dozen. As a great dedicated employee, they will be sad when I leave. But, this company has a revolving door of employees so I may not be missed,  but you have to look at it as a means to keep food on the table. But with this company,  you have to be smart and leave before they get the upper hand. Don't be a fool, MAKE SURE YOU RESEARCH COMPANIES 1ST, AND DETERMINE IF YOU CAN DEAL WITH THE CONS.

There isn’t much to say about GardaWorld Cash that hasn’t already been covered by the news. Unfortunately, my experience reflects many of the issues commonly reported. The pay is low considering the responsibilities of the role, and mandatory overtime adds to the strain. To make matters worse, overtime pay doesn’t begin until after 50 hours, which is frustrating and unusual compared to standard practices. Outside of the larger branches, the trucks are in poor condition and often wouldn’t pass a DOT inspection. The company seems reluctant to invest in necessary repairs. Additionally, the trucks are governed at 55 mph, which is one of the slowest speeds in the industry, adding to operational inefficiencies. The hiring standards seem alarmingly lax, with an apparent focus on filling positions quickly rather than hiring quality candidates. Despite these challenges, I was fortunate to work alongside many great colleagues. Most of the issues stem from the decisions made by higher-ups in the company. In summary, while there are some positives, such as the camaraderie among coworkers, the low pay, subpar equipment, and questionable hiring practices overshadow these benefits.

Out location is unionized. The management and the anti-union employees consistently find ways to make union members lives harder. Legitimate violations and grievances are ignored based on testimony of the anti-union employees and the anti-union management. Union employee statements regarding incidents are not considered, as long there is an anti-union employee who's statement differs. The hours works are long and arduous. Some routes cant even pull 40 hours a week, while other routes work 60-80 hours a week. Then the 60-80 hour routes have to listen to the 40 hour routes talk about how they have the most difficult route. The benefits are terrible, i have the second highest medical plan (out of 4 options) and my copay is 50 dollars and my deductible was just raised by $1500 this year. If you are not 100% availability you are considered part time, regardless of the hours worked. They will give benefits at 30 regular scheduled weekly hours, but not PTO or any benefit that isnt soecifically required by law. There is a culture of negativity and hostility towards employees, you will get extra work out on your route without warning and then be lied to about the reason. 

I was a temporary contractor with this company for 2 months. This is the company's headquarters located in Boca Raton. I rated everything listed above as average, because I was not actually an employee utilizing these benefits. 
Coworkers were helpful , polite, willing to answer all my questions, and assisted with my initial on the job training. The supervisor was great in preparing for my arrival on the first day. My desk, computer and office supplies were all available and sufficient stocked. Everyone was hard working and courteous. 
The company frequently provided exciting functions within the office building to reward its employees. For example; Employees were planning on having a pot luck luncheon, the CEO heard about it, and he decided to have the company cater the affair. There was another provision made for the Thanksgiving holiday that occurred shortly afterwards. I never been at a company where the CEO actually assisted in sharing food for the employees. I was impressed with how they supported their employees for the short time I was there. I do not have sufficient information to critique the other company locations.

Start at Three PM can work all the way to Five AM if things do not fall into place correctly. We depend on everyone before us in that day to have done their job correctly in order for us to do ours in a timely manor and go home. My job we are the function of the whole operation, besides management. We take in the deposits, make sure they go to the correct bank, pick up the orders of currency and coin and set up the routes to deliver the orders in the am. Things can become hectic quickly if something goes wrong, and then the whole day is ruined. My immediate coworkers are great. Really funny enjoyable people. My immediate supervisor is a little lost at the job. When things happen it takes him a while to figure it out and fix the problem, costing us time. Management in general is really great, good people. Have a bad habit of promising you things and not following through with them. Hardest part of the job is staying in the go go mode with out any breaks. Normal people get beat after 9 hours of work and I work 12-15 almost every day. My most enjoyable part of the job is the ability to have great people to work with.

Typical day at GardaWorld cash(Houston )is chaotic very unorganized supervisors don't follow work schedule and management (mercenaries) is horrible. They will constantly curse at you harshly during meetings or anytime they like. No respect received no respect given. The equipment(armored trucks and vans) is constantly broke down with most of them over 500,000 miles trashed out and full of roaches and when it rains it pours literally inside the trucks your driving and management knows this they don't care. The Hardest part of the job is protecting your life!  Best part of job is opportunity to get advanced pay. Keep in mind when you quit they stop your direct deposit immediately and mail you a paper check when their ready. No overtime pay until after 50 hours in a week which should be investigated!  You have to request or inquire about how much PTO time you have and it takes weeks or months for a reply. Don't expect a 15min 30 min or hour lunch break you don't get it just eat when you can driving a trashed out vehicle.  Nothing good about this place run from it! I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy!

This is not a full time job, but a lifestyle. If you have a marriage, we can fix that. If you have a social life, we can fix that. If you have responsibilities outside of these locations. We can fix that. You will miss birthdays, holidays and anniversary.

Your life is, and always will be, Garda world.

D.o.T is completely ignored, making us some of the most deadly vehicles on the road. Functionality, safety and AC are a luxury.

You will provide your own equipment ie: vest, belt and weapon. While offered, the time it takes to actually receive your order or a vest/work clothes is absurd (2-3mo)

The only training you will receive is sled and a drive around the parking lot to make sure you're actually able to drive a vehicle with air brakes.

Expect 14+ hour shifts religiously, due to the turnover rate and general disfunction.

While the branch personnel are some of the best people to work with. Corporate offers little to no support on any positive changes nor do they have a plan on actually fixing this branch.. making this job a miserable tap out session for all who apply.


a typical day at garda is coming into work and your load is not ready or not correct. if you ask management questions regarding your route or how to do ATMs they could not give you a straight answer. why is that because they cant do are job for one day if you where to let them. The new management team has done so many changes with routing that they believe would work but in the end it just led to lost of customers and longer work hours. which led to lay offs and half the company losing there jobs. The condition of the trucks are very poor most of the trucks heat does not work in the winter or  AC in the summer. Bring the issue up to management and you might get a answer back just get it done for today. Your risking your life every day for very low pay. And the management never backs up there employees. Most of the workers that are on the trucks are pretty great people. Garda was once a fun place to come and work but if you where to ask employees its just a check now. Do i recommend anyone to work for this company NO. Take your talents else where.

I started each day at 7AM ET and usually was on the clock until 7PM.  I support the Garda sales team, customer service and billing administrators.  My users were very friendly and patient and respected my work.  I would monitor the Siebel system during the day, clean up any errors or backups in the job queue.  My job would also include preparing Excel and MS Access reports for different departments; building Siebel EIM files to do mass updates on the database; doing maintenance and development on the Siebel CRM system.  I was their only resource.

The hardest part of the job was at month-end, when the pressure was on a timely closing.  Even though I had gone thru months and years of month-end closings, there was always a surprise that would cause me to work some unplanned hours.  

The most enjoyable part of the job was the daily challenge and the people whom I supported.  Even though I worked from my home, I felt like I knew every one them personally and professionally.

A typical day at Garda would consist of coming in the building, buying your load for the day and starting your route of deliveries. However, nothing is simple as 1-2-3 with this company. They don't provide the necessary tools to complete your job requirements. The equipment you do have to work with Barely functions ! The trucks break down every day. Yes armored trucks that literally break down every day. Management is the worst I've ever seen. This company has changed managers 7 times literally in the last 4 or 5 years. I have seen three in the 2 years I've been with the company. I had the opportunity to meet and work with some great people outside of management and while performing my job duties. This company expects slave style work for peanuts ! I would not refer anybody to this place because 99% of the employees are looking to leave the company as a good host of them have already done.  This is not the place to settle down and think career.
