Pros

The Tax Department's employees are given the recognition they deserve for jobs well done. The CFO is respected and seems to care about his employees. The CEO was selected by CEO Magazine as one of the most respected CEOs in the US. The company is growing, especially internationally.

Cons

The morale of employees of The Brink's Company in Richmond has reached its nadir. The majority of employees are only waiting for the economy to improve and jobs to become available so they can look for other employment. The Vice President of HR keeps such tight control over every aspect of the company that innovation and system improvement seem to be foreign words. With only 2 females in positions of director or above, senior management is a white good old boys' club that is seen as not caring about the worker bees. One former employee once said that he had never worked any place where the top executives treated the company as their own private company. The Brink's Company's executives need to realize that their employees are an asset, and once they leave it will be hard to recruit, train, and retain new employees. There is a real problem here.

Pros

A fast paced and interesting industry

Cons

Leadership above branch level is laughably out of touch with front-line operations, existing in a corporate bubble full of backbiting and office politics. Due to this, senior leaders push processes, tools, and systems that are woefully inadequate and unfit for purpose onto the branches. They then place blame on branch-level leaders and employees when they inevitable fail in spectacular fashion. Facilities and equipment are worn threadbare and are, frankly, unsafe. Senior leadership postures like it cares about engagement and safety, but every single bit of focus is on cutting jobs and costs, often in ways that are dishonest, unsafe, and unethical. Who we can fire next is a daily topic of conversation. Support systems and training are practically non-existant. You will have zero work/life balance and there is no opportunity for progression. Mass layoffs will occur nearly every quarter. Communication and coordination are non-existent.
