Brink's reviews

I worked for Brinks for 5 years and there weren't really any pros of working there. I stayed because I enjoy driving.

Brinks is filled with cons. Management ignores you unless they claim you did something wrong. The trucks have cameras that are supposed to be used for protection for the messenger and vehicle. But management uses them to watch the messenger mostly as he's driving. The routes are so disorganized with stops on your route you have to go out of your way to get to them. And management doesn't care. You rarely work an 8 hour day. I worked up to 15 hours a day sometimes. The trucks are so poorly maintained that they breakdown weekly.

The only real benefit for me was never having to work weekends.

The ceo is only concerned with making money for the shareholders. And proof of this is the elimination of the jobs of guards and drivers. So there is only one person in each truck now. Nobody cares for the safety of the people who actually do the work.

The people that are in the positions of branch managers have no managerial skills. They should all have to be trained. Management needs to listen to what the employees are saying and not ignore them as they do now.

I didn't need to prepare. I'm extremely confident in my abilities and skills. That's why I was hired after one short interview.

When I started it was on the low end. But by the time I was laid off it had increased significantly.
