Pros

Great co-workers. That's just about it.

Cons

Upper management pushing to far and sending equipment out that is not ready then blaming the mechanics. Just to make a rent. Then putting everybody on 40 hours and pushing for more. The only people that make money in this company are sales and upper management they could care less about anybody else.

Pros

The men and women that you work with on a day to day basis. NOT upper management, but the people who actually make the business work. The work boots on the ground people. They are all good hard working people. That's the only thing that keeps you going is your relationship with your fellow workers. This is a cash heavy and extremely lucrative business. Don't expect the company to share any of the record profits with you though. They will tell you that you have an opportunity to earn profit share, but they have made so hard to achieve that it rarely happens. They will also tell you that they love to promote from within, but this is also not true anymore. I believed when I started working here that I would retire from this company, but now I can't see myself staying here unless attitudes towards employees change. Some much has changed for the worse over the last several years, that I don't even recognize this company any more.

Cons

The company has one value, make money for upper managemant and the overseas investors. You are expected to work 50+ hours a week for a 40 hour paycheck. It didn't used to be this way. You are routinely "reminded" by upper management that you are lucky to have a job. The Sunbelt catch phrase is "you are always interviewing for your job". Nice, isn't it? The career path at Sunbelt = the good old boys network. If you're planning on trying to advance and build a career with this company, you better hope district and VP level management likes you and that you can get into their good graces. If they don't, you'll never get a fair opportunity to advance. A college degree, experience and/or hard work won't get you anywhere with this company, unless your part of the cool kids. They don't care about you, they will tell you they do, but they don't. I've seen many well qualified men and women get passed over, because they didn't set at the right table during lunch.

Pros

this is a place to work until you find a career driven company to settle into..

Cons

Get ready to be thrown into a fire as there is really No one on one training and then be ready to have to explain to management when things go wrong...if you want to be a driver your days are numbered from day one... Be cautious!!!
