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

company truck, company gas, expense account

Cons

Coercive Non-Competes: Instead of retaining talent through fair pay and competent leadership, management uses overreaching non-compete agreements to trap their workforce. Seeing colleagues like Zane bogged down by these heavy-handed tactics shows a fundamental lack of respect for employees' career mobility. Pervasive Micromanagement: Leadership insists on controlling minor details, bottlenecking progress and alienating competent employees. The Sunk Cost Fallacy: Instead of learning from mistakes, senior leaders consistently double down on poor decisions, driven by an unwillingness to admit fault. The Peter Principle in Action: The executive team suffers from an overinflated sense of their own acumen, which barely masks a fundamental lack of competence. People have clearly been promoted to their level of incompetence.
