Pros

The company has expanded and bought several other rental companies making it easier to choose a location to transfer if you so desire. Sunbelt has spent a great deal of money in the last 3 years on new equipment enabling us to stay competitive in the equipment rental market. Sunbelt Rentals is also very committed to safety in the work place and also safety with our customers on their jobs.

Cons

Poor communication, from the managment down. Lack of commitment from management to better the communications from employee to employee and branch to branch. Even though this is a large company, over 6000 employees all working for Sunbelt Rentals,it seems that alot of the time each store is working for itself and not as a whole! not willing to help out others.

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.
