Pros

I enjoyed working at sunbelt and the pay for drivers was pretty good. The people at the individual stores were all good to work with.

Cons

When the company had to do lay offs I was picked over junior personell. I was told that senority did not have anything to do with who was laid off. The only reason that I can come up with is because my wife was in the hospital and they didn't want to have to pay insurance anymore. My benifits were cut off the day I was laid off which shows an appauling lack of ethics. Although I enjoyed working for Sunbelt I would not recommend working for a company that doesn't allow you to build up senority and will treat you this way when they are through using you.

Pros

Large company, lots of potential for advancement as well as transfers. At least my location, alot of pride in quality of work. Fast paced and exciting at times! Also, ther is alot of opportunity for continued training on all sorts of equipment. My favorite thing about my job is that I'mn doing something different every day so there is no time to get bored.

Cons

Fast paced and stressful at times... Rental industry doesn't pay as well for mechanics, at least in WA. Some of the safety rules seem mundane and pointless. I know they're intended to keep us safe, but sometimes I find myself choosing between doing my job, and following the rules...

Pros

opportunity to move up in the company if you work hard at it, a job can turn into a career if you arent worried about getting pay well. great management that want to see you move up in the company fast.

Cons

to many politics involved in promotion seeking and commisiion plans continue to change. The pay raises arent that much in the company. Kind of bad hours at some locations. Long shifts. time off policies are kind of hard.
