Great operators , but vision walked out the door

Pros

Very strong operators who know the equipment rentals space very well. Day to day, they cannot be beat. Good, honest support for veterans.

Cons

Extend your view to a week, a month, a year . . . and things look less rosy. M&A led growth is faltering. Tactical response to pandemic has been commendable, but company has missed an opportunity to move up the food chain and fight commoditization. Sales, marketing, technology have all lost their way under new commercial leader and talent left the company.

Great opportunity for growth in sales experience, great pay & benefits. Great way to meet with small business to corporate contacts.

Good place for a career

Pros

Great benefits, stability, and built in opportunities for success

Cons

Slow to make changes, especially with bad management, which is pushing experienced people to competitors. Allow competitors to take market share because of how rigid they run the business. Can’t compete with price due to the bloated middle management layers, these jobs are adding too much operational cost to the business.
