Pros

Great senior management team that is accessible, if you are in sales and management you will meet the CEO. If you work hard and have a great attitude you can go far.

Cons

Career advancement depends on your middle level management, 50% are petty tyrant jerks and the other half are like working with Stephen Covey/Tony Dungy. The compensation is very low in major metropolitan markets.

Pros

I started when it was Nations Rent, And I have worked with a great group of guys. I can remember we use to cook out on Friday's and not hamburgers, great big juicy steaks!! If you had the opportunity to work at just one location you quickly became a Family. It was great to go work in a good mood and if your coworker was down in the dumps the other one's would bring you back up.

Cons

Were do i began? Sunbelt wow everyone was excited new name, no longer in debt, no fear of loosing your job anymore. So that's what we thought at first. 2009 came and stores started to close, employees laid off, and the rest left to pick up the pieces, and double the work load, no more raises. This is one of my favorite CONS that the management tried and succeeded on, If you complained about a safety issue or about a after hours call they would say, (that must mean you don't want to work any more and if that is the case just sign this paper saying your quitting and release any right to your unemployment benefits). that was one of the most unmoral things i have ever seen in my life. Or how about this one, the management would tell their employees that if they wanted to move up in the company they need to put in a little free time, you know work off the clock, we need to watch our over time and you don't want to get written up do you. So most of us didn't complain because we were drawing a check and didn't want to loos our jobs. If any body says i wasn't a company man their off their rocker, i have fired friends for not following policy's and put in in an easy 70 hours a week and only getting paid for 50 55 hours

Pros

Lot's of opportunity for advancement. Some employees may not think so but they are usually the ones who are not good enough to advance, don't work hard or just don't get it. It's a performance based industry and not a gov't job. The CEO is outstanding and couldn't be a better boss. He is young, forward thinking and fair. You won't find anyone who works harder in the company and that's the way it should be. Hopefully he represents our future at least for the next 5-6 years.

Cons

You will have lot's of time invested. In order to do your job right it requires a lot of scarifice for you and your family if you have one. Sometimes the pay does not line up with the hours put in but overall the pay is above average if you can perform.
