Sadly this is very common. Most guards are paid minimum wage because of people like this who set the industry back. Guards on the most part go through very little screening by a company, as long as your not a criminal you can pretty much guarantee yourself a job in security.
A word to the wise though if anyone is looking to try Brinks type work. My cousin who has since moved on to police work worked for an armored car pickup service before and EVERYONE gets robbed within I believe it is 2 or 3 years of service. While it would be fun to try out, getting shot at for other peoples money is not worth it (in my eyes at least)
