Pros

There are some great folks

Cons

Leadership is a huge con. Good ol’ boy network, advancement based on who you know, not what you do. HR looks the other way. Safety is a complete joke, especially now with the current VP (look up his resume). Districts are pretty much making up their own rules to keep up with the pressure to “Make it Happen” (which translates to “money is the most important thing”). Also, be wary of ANY company who stalks their Glassdoor reviews and feels the need to rebut all the negatives. That should speak volumes in itself. Women are not treated well overall at this company. In some pockets around the company, depending on the management, they are. But overall, and especially in The Fort Mill office, they are not. Sunbelt needs to purge many VPs and upper management. They need to get organized (there is little organization, and they pride themselves on “decentralization”. In this case, it does NOT work). Sunbelt will NEVER be United Rentals, especially given their current state of disorganization and crappy culture.

Pros

You will receive a pay check every two weeks.Overtime helps pay the bills and is a must because the pay rate is not up to par,not really one of the pros but its the truth.

Cons

You are only an extension of the rental equipment and treated the same,sunbelt does not value there employees even after almost 10 years of service,and being one of the best drivers sunbelt has.It is well known that i am one of the best and safest drivers within the company and less than .50 cents a year is the reward I have received.The managers keep the bonuses to them selves and brag about how much your profit center has done that month and then tell the employees they are cutting over time when you are already working at max capacity.You read this correct, the stores are called profit centers if that doesn't say all.In the past months it has been the worst,sunbelt has cut every ones pay i.e profit share, and over time so the share holders can hit the 1.4 billion dollar net profit mark.With such low pay we count on over time to pay our bills .division manager rules with an iron fist and scare tactics,it is his way and that is final.It is sad how long i have worked here,working countless 14 hour days and coming in to work at three or four in the morning to deliver equipment sunbelt had promised to customers.I feel like I have failed,but it is sunbelt that has failed me .Hope this is read by by the ceo MR. HORGAN. Sunbelt could be so much better than this.Greed will destroy a company.Moving on to self employment wish me luck.

Pros

Great co-workers. That's just about it.

Cons

Upper management pushing to far and sending equipment out that is not ready then blaming the mechanics. Just to make a rent. Then putting everybody on 40 hours and pushing for more. The only people that make money in this company are sales and upper management they could care less about anybody else.
