Pros

Sunbelt Rentals (pump&power) is filled with best kind of people. Some of the hardest workers you'll meet. The corp side is also filled with good well meaning people.

Cons

Profit sharing seems to have diminished to near nothing and difficult to achieve it. Base pays are low for the industry. Corp/management infrastructure growing too fast. Company has moved from a bottom up to a top down (which by itself is neither good nor bad) but too few in corp structure seem to really be in touch with the realities of daily ops.

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.
