Pros

Fuel Card + Basic health care + Crap Pension + Work from home

Cons

A insecure manager that struggled doing the tasks set by her manager, that resulted in me doing half her project work and seeing her take all the credit. Inexperienced Advisors that never get anything done, then I sort it out with no thanks. If your face does not fit you will know about it. I was left a skype message at 16:50 on Friday from the HR Business Partner advising me of a meeting and then went offline. I ended up in hospital on Sunday due to anxiety of how the company treated me. I have never worked so hard for a company to be completely dumped on. If they can treat a HR professional that way, there is no hope for main employees. They talk about trusting one another, yet everyone stabs you in the back. This is also a company forcing people to drive 450 miles for a stupid meeting that could be done over teams, while in pandemic and thankfully i did not go... as I had already lost my job... however the day after warrington went into full lockdown and is n the peak of COVID again... The MD is a nasty man, speaks to everyone like rubbish, is sexist and only thinks about him self. SBR talk abut changing their culture and improving it.... but in actual fact all youve done is re brand and not change the way you operate... You crushed me and the way you handled myself was just shocking. Did not even get a letter confirming end of employment, I even got shafted over on my final pay... thankfully, my old boss re hired and also got promoted and I could not be happier. So thank you for helping me get promoted and work for the most amazing person again. Karma will find you.

Pros

Sunbelt is a great company. The pay is competitive with any other rental company.

Cons

The leadership is non-existent. Overpromising, uncompromising, micromanaging, you name it. The managers I reported to all sucked. From big bosses that sleep with employees, alcohol in the desk drawer. The company frowns upon this but luckily, those from Fort Mills are too far removed from the cronies at the branch level that do what they want. The worst working experience of my entire 30 year career.

Pros

workshop employees and admin are all brilliant, no weekend work.

Cons

refusal to hear any concerns including weight and weight distribution along with other things and not a single piece of equipment has any weight on them, and that is not taken in to consideration when out on the road. Revenue is paramount, overtime is forced even on a friday night. no tacho = no breaks, expect to handballs almost a tonne on a single job once perweek. No route planner or transport team, just an admin left to run the entire scene with a manager overlooking,
