What are the opinions on -
Bait money? Dye Packs?
Also, we are thinking of installing timer locks on some of our smaller branch vault chests. Some worry we are putting monetary security over employee safety. Any opinions or experiences???

I don't think you're going to get a detailed discussion here in an open forum. One of the many benefits of registering with BOL is the ability to send and receive private messages, so you can discuss sensitive information out of public view.

Now, on to your questions- what are you trying to achieve? Lessen the impact of a robbery (in terms of dollar amount?) Improve your ability to respond after the fact? Make your bank a less attractive target for robbers? The devices you mentioned serve different purposes and meet different needs.

We have timed vaults at each of our branches...I thought that was expected.
