Pros

Sunbelt is a great company. The pay is competitive with any other rental company.

Cons

The leadership is non-existent. Overpromising, uncompromising, micromanaging, you name it. The managers I reported to all sucked. From big bosses that sleep with employees, alcohol in the desk drawer. The company frowns upon this but luckily, those from Fort Mills are too far removed from the cronies at the branch level that do what they want. The worst working experience of my entire 30 year career.

Pros

workshop employees and admin are all brilliant, no weekend work.

Cons

refusal to hear any concerns including weight and weight distribution along with other things and not a single piece of equipment has any weight on them, and that is not taken in to consideration when out on the road. Revenue is paramount, overtime is forced even on a friday night. no tacho = no breaks, expect to handballs almost a tonne on a single job once perweek. No route planner or transport team, just an admin left to run the entire scene with a manager overlooking,

Pros

It was a job - that's about it

Cons

- HR are abysmal. They do not listen, just want to box tick and look down on you - Building was built in the 50s, barely any windows, no light and mold on the walls - They walk the walk with all the fancy slogans, posters and campaigns but that never trickles down to the staff doing the work - One depot is the only one in the entire company that has to publically log where you're going at all times. Toilet included - embarrassing as adults having to change your status to the toilet for everyone to see how long you've been - Team leaders have no experience after being promoted from hire controllers and have little pods of friends; toxic atmosphere - Everyone is in mismatched, ripped hand my down uniforms - Team managers are lazy and let everyone else do the work while they take the glory for the team - Team managers been promoted from hire controllers as favorites but have no experience - Public bullying allowed as nothing ever gets said. You report individuals constantly and nothing is ever done about it
