Pros

good job security. pay & benefits are ok considering the economy but nothing "like it used to be". opportunities for advancement are available for those that seek them. as a company, Sunbelt Rentals continues to have "record" quarters of profitablility, earnings, and growth. A market leader.

Cons

inspite of continual profitability and growth, employee pay and benefits are stagnant at best. there is always another gimmick to stifle sales commission and profit share. there hasn't been a raise for salaried/hourly employees for years. It is extrememly discouraging to work for a company that posts record quarters for growth and profitability with less employees while at the same time makes it harder for those employees to make commission and/or profit share which are now capped. talk about doing more for less! the potential to earn a great income is really restricted. what's that all about?

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.
