Pros

You will receive a pay check every two weeks.Overtime helps pay the bills and is a must because the pay rate is not up to par,not really one of the pros but its the truth.

Cons

You are only an extension of the rental equipment and treated the same,sunbelt does not value there employees even after almost 10 years of service,and being one of the best drivers sunbelt has.It is well known that i am one of the best and safest drivers within the company and less than .50 cents a year is the reward I have received.The managers keep the bonuses to them selves and brag about how much your profit center has done that month and then tell the employees they are cutting over time when you are already working at max capacity.You read this correct, the stores are called profit centers if that doesn't say all.In the past months it has been the worst,sunbelt has cut every ones pay i.e profit share, and over time so the share holders can hit the 1.4 billion dollar net profit mark.With such low pay we count on over time to pay our bills .division manager rules with an iron fist and scare tactics,it is his way and that is final.It is sad how long i have worked here,working countless 14 hour days and coming in to work at three or four in the morning to deliver equipment sunbelt had promised to customers.I feel like I have failed,but it is sunbelt that has failed me .Hope this is read by by the ceo MR. HORGAN. Sunbelt could be so much better than this.Greed will destroy a company.Moving on to self employment wish me luck.

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.
