Pros

I enjoyed working at sunbelt and the pay for drivers was pretty good. The people at the individual stores were all good to work with.

Cons

When the company had to do lay offs I was picked over junior personell. I was told that senority did not have anything to do with who was laid off. The only reason that I can come up with is because my wife was in the hospital and they didn't want to have to pay insurance anymore. My benifits were cut off the day I was laid off which shows an appauling lack of ethics. Although I enjoyed working for Sunbelt I would not recommend working for a company that doesn't allow you to build up senority and will treat you this way when they are through using you.

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
