myLot Discussions| Loomis - armored truck company - BAD place to work | | You can't turn on the TV or read a newspaper without hearing how bad the economy is or how unemployment is up. BE WARNED if you decide to answer a job ad for Loomis. They are constantly hiring due to high employee turnover. I knew it wasn't a good company when I started, when you have to wait 6 months for bare bones benefits and the pay scale is 25 cents a year raise you get a clue. Even when I saw driver/guards being encouraged or even right out told to work off the clock it didn't sink in. When I was cheated out of holiday pay by an incompetent/crooked payroll clerk (not sure which she is) I was angry but let it go. Then today on the last half of my last day of my two week notice they inform me that I have forfeited my two weeks vacation by not completing 24 months of employment(I've only been there 22 months). I told them almost a year ago that I was going to school and would be looking for other employment when completed. I told them when school was finished and I was looking for other employment. I gave them more than two weeks notice. Not only did not one management person bother to tell me but the one person that did was a "union rep". Only about 11 employees are actually... | |

| | Driver reports: Which teams improved most? | |
Which five teams improved most in 2006? No. 31 Chevrolet: The intellectual Jeff Burton turned rebuilding Richard Childress Racing into a group effort. Last year, Burton finished 18th in points; this year, he finished seventh. The pit crew didn't change, but the addition of crew chief Scott Miller, who had been the engineer on Kevin Harvick's team during most of the 2005 season, has enabled Richard Childress' No. 29 and 31 teams to work together more closely. The most dramatic difference on the track has been the improvement in the cars' aerodynamics and mechanics, which has bolstered the performances of all three RCR Cup teams.
No. 9 Dodge: Kasey Kahne had a solid rookie season in 2004, but after he finished 23rd in points under crew chief Tommy Baldwin Jr. in his sophomore season, the kinder, gentler Kenny Francis took over the team for 2006. Francis provided a comfortable environment in which Kahne could build confidence and flourish. It also helped that the crew from the No. 19 team, which had made the Chase for the NASCAR Nextel Cup the past two years, moved to the No. 9 team before the season. The makeover worked; Kahne won six races and had 19 top... | |
