Pros

The money is somewhat decent for an entry level job.

Cons

Extremely high turnover rate. They have you work for a few months (a year if you get lucky or if you are out of this world successful), fire you if you “aren’t where you need to be”, and then inherit any business that you were able to get during your time there. Right after they fire a handful of people, they have a new hire class. And they do this over and over again. They will try to justify their actions by screaming "Its a sales job! Its a sales job!" until they are blue in the face. There is a fine line between firing and hiring all the time and letting someone go here and there who is clearly not putting their best foot forward. You will find that upon your arrival that the call lists are completely tapped out. Because the lists are so exhausted, outreach will only take you so far. There’s not enough business to go around because the vets and higher ups have capitalized on everything back when the company was much smaller. You are left fighting for scraps of which they will inherit after a period of time. It’s essentially a pyramid scheme. Lastly is “leadership.” The leadership style mainly revolves around fear and “be successful or you’re fired.” During my time at Sunbelt, I never once heard my team lead make a recruiting or marketing call. But as soon as they fired someone, they would inherit that business in a heartbeat and reap the rewards of other people’s work. I would say that if you want to pump out half a year of cooperate work experience, Sunbelt will get the job done. Just don’t expect this to be anything long term.

Pros

A good entry-level role for recent college graduates looking to gain professional sales experience, build communication skills, and develop a strong foundation for their careers.

Cons

The pay and commission structure are major concerns. There is a noticeable culture of favoritism, and management lacks accountability. Expectations vary depending on whether management sees you as someone they want to promote, creating an unfair and inconsistent work environment. Managers set standards that they don't consistently enforce, and employees are often encouraged to compete against their coworkers rather than work as a team. A recurring pattern is that employees who are initially identified as future management candidates often become frustrated with the inconsistent treatment and leave within a year. When they leave, management frequently shifts its attention to someone else who had previously been overlooked, only to repeat the same cycle. This obvious favoritism creates resentment, hurts morale, and contributes to the company's high turnover.
