Micromanager's heaven

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

Job Safety and Friendly employers. benefits are a plus.

Cons

work way too many hours then you get paid on salary. minimize your growth. You also have to do multiple roles in the job while only being paid for one. they want you to work from home when they are closed and answer every call. even when you are not at work. while still only getting paid the minimum

Pros

plenty of work on many kinds of equipment, good benefits, lots of PTO with long tenure. easy to bond with co-workers over shared misery.

Cons

huge disconnect between upper management and field personnel. absurd budget practices with unrealistic expectations. branches fight with each other for revenue due no unity as a company. culture breeds laziness and causes motivated employees to burn out quickly and move elsewhere. no continuing training for mechanics on new types of equipment, and a general unwillingness from management to adapt new diagnostic and maintenance practices especially if it costs more money. more inclined to outsource or sublet repairs if it means they can save money on payroll by hiring mechanics that are either inexperienced or unwilling to take on the tasks.
