Brinks, Incorporated

My time at Brinks was short, but long enough to become fully aware of the company's shortcomings. I will forewarn the reader that this review is very heavy in regard to the negatives, but there are a few positives. Unfortunately, the positives were purely the coworkers, therefore, the company had no part in these positives beyond having hired decent people to work with. Beyond having decent coworkers, the pay was not worth the risk by any stretch of the imagination. My experience could have been drastically different from what others went through, but I am going to provide every issue I witnessed and allow you to assess if this is really something you want to put yourself into. Side note, but this gives you an idea where the company places value for the employees: during a meeting about the COVID situation that was just to tell us they'd give us some hand sanitizer and demand the vehicles be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized by us in the same 15 minute expectation that had been expected prior to a national pandemic that required thorough sanitizing, meaning no additional time to ensure our safety from the virus while in the vehicles was provided. A coworker brought up how other companies are providing hazard pay to the employees that are still out working, and he asked if Brinks would be doing the same thing. It was at this time that the manager leading the meeting laughed and said "Yeah, that is not going to happen".. Keep this in mind when applying here.

ONTO THE PLAY BY PLAY REVIEW (Quick points provided at end if preferred):
The position I was hired to work necessitated a firearm and body armor, so expectation of knowing that would generally mean that those would be in my possession relatively close to the time of being hired. This was not the case as it took nearly two months for me to obtain these, even though the firearm "training" took place within the first week of working there. 
Training is put into quotations because it is used very lightly. Management told me that training for the driving role was generally a few days in total with the first day, or two if needed, being strictly observing the individual training you, and the remaining days consisting of you driving under the guidance of the trainer. Not only was the individual "training" me a seasoned employee of a month and a half, his desire to train someone matched his ability to do so (they were non-existent). Now, do not get me wrong, the tasks of the driver are very cut and dry with the most daunting part of the job being that you are operating a metal box with no safety features whatsoever (I do not consider the seat belt a safety feature in these vehicles after watching the job they do in crash videos I was shown during training). As I was saying, the tasks are cut and dry; verify the vehicle is operational at the start of the shift, log into the tablet you are provided each day, use said tablet to provide GPS directions for each stop (do not rely on the address or notes provided in the route guide as they were incorrect on numerous occasions and no matter how many times this was relayed to management they were unwilling to correct this), observe the surroundings as your hopper retrieves the packages from each stop and make sure he is safe (but if he is mugged you must drive away per their controversial company policy), drive safely and get back to the branch. 
If taking breaks that are earned by law after a certain number of hours worked is something you are accustomed to, be ready for that to be pulled from your daily routine. Apparently, drivers and messengers fall under a tag known as "DOT Employees" which is short for you do not get to take a lunch no matter the amount of time you work and if you want a break you can take a break when you run into a gas station and grab a snack that has to be eaten on your way to the next stop. I found this to be not only immoral and cruel, but also illegal, I was told by the manager that it was not illegal. The people at the branch and the vault get to make sure they take their 30 minute lunches though, while those running around on routes are expected to just slave away and get back to the branch as quickly as possible.
After a lengthy limbo as a driver, I was put on for the messenger role. Again, thankfully this job is not hard mentally. Tasks for this differ from that of the driver in that you are now the one checking out the packages, safe keys, tablet, radios, and tote bag in the morning, loading them up, delivering them to stops, and then bringing back the packages you received while on route at the end of the day when you check everything in. Depending on the stops, you will be prompted as to what package is being delivered, what keys are needed, etc.  I was told that training for that would be a week.  I will not say how little training I received for this, but just know it was fewer hours than a six pack has beers. So within that time frame, I was deemed capable of knowing how to access something like 5 different types of safes, what needs to be written on the bags if you bag them from the safe, routes into specific clients, the process of scanning packages out for delivery and scanning packages in that were retrieved, protocol if: client refuses package, if scanner goes down, if keys provided in the morning didn't include the stop you are supposed to service, and how to remove stops from the scanner.
So rolling with the punches was just an everyday thing at this company. Schedules changed daily, and instead of having them digitally so that you could access them in real time, you could only know the schedule by walking up to the printed out paper posted in the branch. Unless you checked the schedule upon arrival and when you clocked out at the end of the day, you would be left unaware of changes as management did not pass the information down many times (towards the end branch did start calling us while we were out on the route since changes were happening so frequently, but expecting us to remember this 2 minute phone call while handling our ongoing responsibilities of the route often times did not happen). Management were the kind of people that if you voiced your opinion or concern about something, you would end up getting the exact opposite as if you were being punished or something for having spoken up.

I was let go due to this whole COVID situtation, but I would never return. Reason being:
Unsafe training, poor management, lack of consideration for the employees, very low pay for a job that you run the risk of being shot during, no breaks, terrible guidance, unrealistic expectations.

I worked for Brinks for roughly a decade, and the good days are in the past. When I started back in 06', we had virtually unlimited overtime, and it was all time and a half. It wasn't uncommon for guys to work 70+ hours a week because the overtime is where you made your actual money. Brinks ended up using a DOT loophole to cut all OT to only 5 hours max, after that, it's all straight time. For the longest time, the only motivation you could use to get employees to work together was because of OT, once that was cut nobody wanted to volunteer to help with anything.
Brinks had a policy for a guaranteed 40 hours a week, so even if the company didn't have a route for you to earn all your hours, you'd be guaranteed to get a minimum 40 hours on your paycheck. Brinks cut that too.
Brinks had a program for being on-call for ATM services after hours and weekends. They'd pay you a flat rate depending on which 'zone' the atm was located in. If it was close to the branch it wouldn't be much, but if it was 100 miles or so then it could be over $80. Now, that doesn't sound like much but consider holidays where ATM's were always needing emergency refills. You drive 100 miles to replenish 4 or 5 ATMs at $80 a pop, you can see how some of these messengers made some good money. But, as usual, brinks cut that out.
I started as a driver and worked my way up to a Route Logistics Supervisor. Over my many years there, this company slowly went down the drain to become your typical multinational corporation.
Trucks broke down regularly. The AC would break in the summer and you'd still have to run a route; there are no windows to roll down, you just cook. A coworker brought a thermometer with him one day just to see how hot it'd get, the thermometer read 115 degrees in the cab before noon; you can imagine how the rest of the day was. Management would just laugh and tell you to pick up some cold drinks at a gas station to cool off. The trucks had no suspension in the seats so every bump would shoot straight through your spine. I think everyone I know who worked there now has back problems; either from the seats or constant lifting of coin bags. Hernias weren't uncommon. Same with groin injuries. Management would do everything in their power to keep you from taking time off, even for medical issues. 
Branches can be perpetually shorthanded because most new hires quit as soon as they see how horrible the job can be, which results in job security for longterm employees so they know they can do whatever they want and not get replaced. Corporate would take over 7 months to even post a job opening for us, and after I persistently called them telling them to do their actual jobs my manager was called and told that I better not call the corporate office again. Only he could call and speak to them, and he was so worried about getting fired so close to retirement that he didn't want to make any waves.
The only upside is that everyone is getting screwed over together; it's a lot like the military. Everyone hated it together, so you at least had that in common. After being shorthanded so long that we had guys running truck routes by themselves, I quit. $12 an hour wasn't enough to drive, guard yourself, and be responsible for millions of dollars all while having a constant target on your back. The company doesn't care what is going on as long as the routes get done, and anyone complaining will get let go. In fact, they were so mad that I quit that they listed me as "job abandonment", which ensures I'd never be able to come back; as if I'd want to.
I know this all sounds like the rant of a bitter employee, but it isn't. I'm doing great now and halfway done with a college degree I always wanted but was never able to pursue. This company actually used to be a decent place to work. It wasn't always enjoyable, but you were compensated. Now, it's no better than any other company looking for sweatshop workers. If you're looking for a career in security or law enforcement and want something that looks good on a resume, this may help. But, if you have a family or want to live a life free of constant stress or stomach ulcers, etc. Then this may not be the job for you.

Monitronics will go down in memory as one of the worst companies I have ever worked for. EVER.

I was hired in November 2014 for a customer tech support associate at the Irving location. I was hired in a class of 16 or 17 people. First off I am a 'professional' and I was shocked to find myself in class beside certain people who had no real employment experience, were very young and immature. That was the first red flag.

During training a few members of the class would routinely shout down the trainer, talk over him, and bully and humiliate folks in class who asked questions, etc. Really rude behavior. The trainer allowed all of this .

Finally I spoke out against it and I became the target of their hostility. Two young women in particular. A smear campaign against me was started and I was routinely called out of my name in class. Very bullyish behavior. I spoke out about this to the trainer and he did nothing. The next day it was worse. I reported it to HR. I sent an email asking HR to intervene. I was informed I would have a change of seat. A few hours later I was too 'I' was the problem and fired on the spot.

All I did was ask HR to intervene. If I would have kept my mouth shut I would still have a job. I was terminated a week before thanksgiving ad a month before Christmas.

I made a video about my experience that became popular with workplace bullying blogs and when I emailed HR to pick up my last check I was ignored. On the way to get the check I received a text message from a police officer who stated he was called out to the company to review the video and they 'weren't happy about it'. He told me if I showed up to get my check I would be 'arrested'. I have his text messages to prove it. Wow. Why didn't monitronics HR let me know?

On top of this I recieved a letter from Monitronics Attorney courier delivered to me on 11/25 which demanded I remove all videos and online postings 'or else' I would be sued and have a criminal complaint filed against me. WOW!

I was told I could not use the companies name or likeness or ever post about the company, I had to reach out to a free speech attorney who told me this was ridiculous and he said as long as I'm not profiting I could post my thoughts and opinions. He said the letter was meant to 'intimidate me'. I took the video down anyway because the attorney said 'out of spite' the company could use their massive resources to sue me even with a meritless lawsuit.

On top of being fired for complaining about workplace bullying then being set up by HR to be arrested if I showed to get my check I was threatened with a lawsuit. All of this because I dared to email HR about a hostile work environment.

I am happy the company exposed itself when it did. Before I had invested significant time and capital out there. Monitronics fires too quickly. It terminated its way out of HR issues. They have high employee ratings because of all the parties and trinkets they give out to workers but if you dare approach HR about an issue they will terminate you with a quickness. And threaten you with a lawsuit if you dare to speak out.

Monitronics has a poisonous top culture. There are good folks who work there but the 'terminate yourself out of employee relations work' being done by HR is not good because it sends a message to other workers to remain in bad situations and this could eventually cause workplace violence. If people are too afraid to approach HR.

I've found another job (thank God) and I've moved on but I'm advising folks that if you can steer clear of these folks. They served me with a legal threat before I received my last paycheck causing me to miss thanksgiving with my stepdad who has cancer because they waited a whole week to send my check to me. I don't understand why they couldn't send the paycheck with the legal threat since I had that so quickly. Terrible experience all the way around.

A typical day,
Unless you have your own route, there really is no typical day. Most days I would be at the branch by 6am. After that it took me about 10 minutes to get my gun belt, vest, bags, and gun. Then another 5 or 10 minutes to get my cart with my deliveries. When I got to my truck for the day, I scanned in all my items in the cart and put them in the truck, made sure I had bags for stops and atms and talked to the driver about the run guide. All in all, I was ready to leave and gone by about 7am 90% of the time. After you leave the branch for the day, depending on how fast you are, your route, what truck you have, what driver you have, and how smoothly your day goes, you will be back in anywhere from 7-12+ hours. I have had days where I left at 7 and returned at 3pm, and days where I didn't return until 10pm. After you get back you have to check in your pick ups from that day, and that usually takes about 45 minutes, and that is only if all your scanned items are there and you have no items to write up. When you're done checking in, you hand in all your equipment and put your gear back in your locker, THEN you can clock out. A usual day is about 10 hours.

What I learned,
They teach you how to use and maintain a handgun during training, their policies and what to do in certain situations. Preliminary training is a week long. After that, you learn how to drive a truck for anywhere from 3 to 5 days. When you complete driver training you have the option of becoming a messenger. To get fully messenger trained, takes about 2 weeks, learning how to use your scanner, keys, safes, atms, When you are fully messenger trained, it still takes some time to learn on your own, as I stated after 3 months overall, you should be ok, you only get better.

Management,
Most of the management are former messengers. They can relate to the drivers and messengers. Regardless of that fact, only some of the management were good at being managers. The lower level managers were good, the upper level managers were hit and miss. They usually did not listen to the messengers suggestions, and did not fix problems when the messengers/drivers told them about it. 

Co-workers,
I personally liked almost all my co-workers. Most of them were friendly and helpful, we got good laughs and almost no conflict. Even the people who were not messengers/drivers were friendly. You will spend a lot of time with your co-workers, depending on your route, maybe even more time than with your own family. There are messenger/driver teams that have worked together for months, if not longer. If you have a good driver/messenger (whichever one you're not), and get along well with them, it makes the day go by much faster. 

Hardest part of the job,
The first 3 months are the hardest part of the job. It takes about that long to get used to the job, the stops, the keys, the people, the trucks, the safes, and the atms. If you can make it through that, you will be ok. After that, something just clicks and you get faster, everything starts to make sense, and the job gets easier, much easier the longer you work.

Most enjoyable part/s of the job (in no particular order),
The co-workers, as I said earlier, those guys (and gals) will make or break the job. Some of the stops, after a while you get to know your stops and the people, I enjoyed talking to the ones that talked to me and seeing how they were doing. I got to get out and get some exercise, and talk to people. I preferred that to sitting in the truck and driving.

From top to bottom. Brinks is entirely about stock holders and nothing more. Stock holders do not care who you are, what you need, or what you want. Armored Car industry is a joke in terms of security and financial stability. Brinks is so worried about customer retention City and or Branch Managers are required to bend over backwards at the expense of employees. All these actions do is lead to enabling of customers who wish there demands be met at the burden of armored crews and or office personnel. Management favor do nothing "supervisors" who constantly screw up or do not know how to do their own responsibilities. Armored crews are and will constantly be given the short end of the stick in regards to employee hours or work that needs to be done. Armored crews fill in all leftover roles or do other tasks that managers, supervisors, and vault staff are to lazy to do. 

A typical day of work... Can either start with armored personnel getting ready off the clock for a smoother start or clocking in just at the right time. Management or supervisor hopefully have some of your route ready, Did they give you route keys, radio, phone, truck keys, paperwork, combinations and or functioning scanner? Wow there they didn't well better source that stuff on your own. Lord knows they are unreliable and messengers are responsible for putting out the fires. Better yet just play dumb so superiors talk bad to everyone else about how bad you are. Your route can be super smooth were everything goes right too done right awful were extra work, mistakes either yours or your co workers down right screw your day up. 

I learned to not depend on management or a vast amount of coworkers to get there end of the job done. Used to be a satisfying job until your too good and have to do more work. 

Management... used to have respect for them. MANAGERS have zero authority to hire, give raises, promotions, and fire anyone. HR does all of this. Supervisors are old washed up people who are there for a paycheck but will entirely depend on you to fix there mistakes.

Workplace Culture... ? What is it? Brinks has zero morals employees are expendable or replaced. ONE MAN TRUCKS. Saves 40% of labor on route. With two man vehicles you develop teamwork and friendships in what gets done. ONE MAN YOU ARE BY YOURSELF.
Hey don't worry they have cameras that will record your death on the truck wahoo that's exciting. Seriously Brinks does nothing for workplace culture moral is lower than it has ever been. Turn over rate is super high with how employees are treated and compensated.

Hardest part of the job. Getting told hey we have a hotshot or special depending on who says it. Hotshot means oh hey you did your job now go out and do some more even though you had plans and wanted to go home. A hotshot is a special order that is going to ruin your day. Office staff will laugh at you even though you sweated all day they do not and I repeat DO NOT CARE that you get to spend another forty five plus minutes at work. Another hardest part of the job fixing mistakes made by the very people who are supposed to make sure that everything that does go out goes out 100% accurate. 
I think everyday that I messenger there is always something wrong on one to multiple routes.

Best part of the job bonding with other people stuck in the exact same position as you. 

KEY NOTE.
STARTING WAGE OF A MESSENGER IS $14.05 a SIX year messenger makes $15.02 at my location $.97 is the replacement difference.

Working for Brinks Hartford (or Brinks New Britain) was a great experience. 
Although I applied to work for this company temporarily (as an interim for finding another job actually in my field), I really fell in love with the place, especially the staff and management. 
This branch seems to be a major New England branch, and the workload is as to be expected. Start time is the same every day depending on the individual, and the shift ends when the work is done. This usually means that some busy days go longer, but other days during the week can end early. That being said, there is an even balance between short and long days, usually guaranteeing a solid 40 hour pay period plus a few hours overtime (which is good considering time &1/2). This work week is nice because on some shorter days I can spend some time to myself, where some days are later (these days are usually consistent and can be planned). 
The facility works very smoothly depending on whether or not the facilities is staffed correctly, which happens occasionally but not consistently. 
The manager of this branch is an exceptional individual. He takes first place in my list of best bosses ever. He is extraordinarily dedicated to the job, and ensuring that the staff are comfortable at all times. He will never put himself before his staff, and for this, deserves admirable respect. The staff here see how hard he works, and every individual truly looks up to him. When talking to individuals who work at other New England branches, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that the Hartford/New Britain Branch is operated the best! 
The only fault with this facility, is corporate handling of operations and staffing. Most of the staff have worked here for decades, ensuring that things run smoothly and efficiently. Corporate would occasionally pop in to tell us about the "positive" changes they wish to enforce at the facility, but would usually result in little changes or benefit. 
The staff and coworkers are a true family comprised of multiple different ages and ethnic backgrounds. Everyone works as a team, is passionate to get the work done, and little or no drama even exists. 
Working at Brinks was not something I ever expected to do, but I truly fell in love with the job and the people. The learning experience alone was incredible (to understand how currency really works and flows throughout the region). The job is repetitive and the work loads are familiar day to day. Some late shifts may make it uncomfortable, but other than that it is certainly a great experience. 
Although I never thought I would work for Brinks, I really had an outstanding experience. When I got another job offer for a dream career in my field, I had to step down from my position at Brinks. Leaving this job was not a joyful decision. I really felt connected to the job, and especially to the people. I felt extraordinarily sorry to leave. Every coworker who I communicated with, that left prior, felt the same way. It's a wonderful group of people, and the manager and higher powers at this facility are exceptional. 
If I'm ever in a rough patch, I would take this job back in a heartbeat. 

This is one of the worst companies I have worked at. The branch that I am located at the management is horrible the pay is even worse and overall the company Brinks is a bad company to work for they are very petty they will write you up for the smallest thing. And with the academic that’s going on we have had a few people to get the virus they did not shut down the branch like they supposed to and sanitize they put the vehicle right back out on route as well. Like what is the point of them checking our temperatures when we come in in the morning and when they Do not follow the rules when someone is running a temperature of 100 and something they still make that person go out on route that person could not finish the route by time they came back the temperature was at 107 The person went and got tested came back positive that they had the virus and the person that they was with that day the branch failed to inform that person that their partner tested positive for the coronavirus they are very unprofessional at this location that I am at which is called Brinks Heights. This job is not for anyone to make a career out of us use it as a stomping ground for your next level In you’re career. I have spoken with some of the people that been with Brinks company for over 15 years they stopped her pay at $18 and some change their start out pay is $13.50 which is really bad when you are out here risking your life. In for me to be a CDL driver for this company they are only paying me $14.51 which is super horrible the garbage trucks is making more than me and to top it off they lied to me told me that my pay should be between $15 and $17 an hour when I see my first paycheck I was really upset and when I went to go talk to someone this person exact words oh well you’re at your pay!!!!! SMH A VERY BAD PLACE WELL COMPANY TO WORK FOR........ oh yes almost forgot you are only allowed to get 10 hours overtime so if you work 60 hours only 10 hours is overtime out of that extra 20 hours that you work so that other  10 Hours goes back to regular pay

What is the best part of working at the company?
Excellent benefits at the time, salary was a little to low even at the time but the hours compense in a way. A good part of the management at the time , trest you with respect. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
At that time , me personally did not feel any stressful part, other than have to do such s security job in a so unreliable piece of non reliable truck, other than that , even fun sometimes it was. The real problem at yhe time was the garage department manager “Willy”, but as he retire after my resignation, i hope things would are better. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
At the time even with such a mix of cultures , the environment was great, as i say before , sometimes even fun, no stress at all. When you decide to work with one of the best company on the bussiness for the transport and delivery of currency and other extremely valuable items, you have to know and understand certain risks that if you don’t pay  attention to your responsabilities, could put you in certain risk.  Overall it was a verygood experience work at Brinks Corp. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Days were long routes . As most of them at the time, must of the days with a lot of overtime, that make you minimize the low rate per hour at the time. Even when the head mechanic was the responsible of a great part of that overtime hours, we say that the weekly check you receive minimize the deception. As i say even fun, at least for me. Because i make peace with the filling of a criminal charge for robbery because i told every supervisor and even the general manager the situation, and the answer was a deception , but an answer anyway for me to make peace with such a bad felling . They said to me , thet there hands were tight on that part, and they cant do nothing. And as i say again , the job was even funny sometimes and no more stress about it anymore, if the company is fine, is not my concern anymore unless i get hurt with there incredible answer.

Brinks is a dead end job. Find any employee who is a messenger and ask them if they plan to work for brinks within the next 5 years, 95% of them will tell you no. You have 0 Opportunity for advancement, and you will be doing the same thing day in and day out for your entire career at brinks. Management will post job postings, interview you for a position that you will never fill. They will bring in outsiders or transfers from other branch, even if you have years of experience. They want to keep their guys that are on the trucks, on the trucks until they quit, or are fired. whichever happens first.

Nashville is a bit of a odd ball, in the terms of work life balance. The scale is broken at the work end from all the weight put onto it. They schedule you daily, and you will receive a text around 5-8PM with what time you are to report the following day. on the Weekends, schedule will be made for Monday, at 8PM Sunday evening. So you literally have no idea when you are off, which makes scheduling appointments, dating, trips Impossible. They also tell you to schedule your doctor/dentist appointments on Mondays or Fridays as those are the easiest to get off. You will receive active resistance from management on taking days off, and you will still be scheduled on days that you are approved off you will have to "remind" the management that you will not be coming in so they do not text/call you at 0600 asking why you arent at work. If you are sick? forget it. Management will send your driver TO YOUR HOUSE with your truck loaded and duty gear on your seat to pick you up to go run a "light" route. No such thing as sick days at Brinks. Brinks is also Open 365 days a year, and runs full schedule on major holidays like Christmas, new years, thanksgiving and 4th of july.

I cannot get out of here fast enough. We have guys that have been doing this for 10+ years on the trucks and I don't know how they are sane.
