Pros

Sunbelt has a lot of pros starting with their hours and benefits. They are a growing company. They support veterans and do community work. They are working toward work/life balance and their middle management teams are engaged.

Cons

The salaries are under average for all positions. Sunbelt's biggest cons are micromanagement and employees who are hired from the same companies. The cliques are numerous and will side with each other over new and innovative thinking (we've always done it this way). Sunbelt has entirely too many "buddies" up the chain. All management levels micromanage every detail. They do not trust employees to do their job and require more documentation than necessary. If an employee is asked to do something, numerous people send emails to request that task. While you're trying to answer all the emails to say you've received the request, your manager or director has asked someone else to do the task because you haven't responded quickly enough and now two people are stepping on each other to complete the task. Sunbelt has tools in place but do not encourage the use of those tools to avoid wasting time and resources.

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.
