Pros

If you like empty promises and a intimidating work place I guess you'd love it. In the ordinary Tool Rental Stores of Sunbelt it seems as if for the most part the employees are content. The specialty divisions are a whole different matter as they do not run upon a 8 AM to 5 PM structure like the Tool Rental Stores do.

Cons

Forget compensation in any PC that offers 24/7 service. In the case of employees that drive company equipment or transport equipment know what the Department of Transportation has regulations that you must follow even if you do not have a commercial drivers license. If you do not like putting yourself in liability at breaking DOT Hours of Service or vehicle accident by intimidation instead of following the law and the need for safety this is not a place to even consider. Training is by their convenience not based upon the need of training to do your job safely. Not uncommon to be told to repair or fix a piece of equipment you never saw in your life let alone you knowing the hazards presented such as in generators or earth moving equipment. A real challenge to figure out if you need a key to start the equipment sometimes, lol. Can you imagine telling a customer I am here to fix that big forklift but I am not licensed to operate it? Then how do you know if you fixed it then, ask the customer before he tells you to get off his property and have someone take the equipment with you.

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.
