Pros

Free use of equipment to take home for personal use, access to wholesale used equipment before available to public, great veteran onboarding program, Union benefits are very competitive, effort at some branches to provide the proper tools and ppe for work. A place to get some time under your belt in the rental industry.

Cons

Lack of experience in management can lead to frustration in day to day operation, older equipment, very much an "in" crowd that can hamper career advancement, safety heavily pushed unless it works against business operations. Lowest paying rental house locally makes retaining employees difficult. Cameras, GPS, and all kinds of sensors in trucks, in house driver rating system that can lead to disciplinary actions or termination.

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
