Pros

Relaxed environment, extended Friday lunch is no problem and the overall atmosphere is great. At least once a year a company paid team event (billiard turnament, kart racing, etc)

Cons

Don't expect to climb up the ladder. If you have extra ordinary ideas and/or solutions, don't expect a pad on the back, someone else will take the credit for it (and the bonus check). The more you learn and the more you do, outside your job description, the more you are respected, but you will not be compensated for it (better salary). If something goes wrong, they will find someone to blame it on. Never mind someone having your back. Promotions are not going to happen.

Pros

Compensation was decent but not worth lack of work life balance

Cons

Sunstate Equipment’s Denver operations are plagued by dysfunctional leadership and a toxic culture masked by hollow messaging. The local leadership team promotes people from their inner circle or those who suck up by blindly buying into the false narratives they push. Hard work and integrity mean little if you’re not playing the political game. Instead of developing employees, they rely on constant write-ups and fear-based management. The company preys on uneducated blue-collar workers, selling them on empty promises of growth and culture while overworking and underappreciating them. You’ll consistently work 50–60 hours a week with little to no regard for your personal life. Work-life balance doesn’t exist, period. And if you speak up about working fewer hours or try to prioritize your family, you’ll be bullied, singled out, and made to feel like you're not a team player. And while they preach "core values," those values are shoved down your throat more as a compliance checklist than a true cultural foundation. Leadership doesn't live the values, they use them as a tool to silence dissent and maintain control. Bottom line: If you're looking for a place where politics matter more than performance, where you're worked to exhaustion and fed corporate nonsense to keep you quiet, Sunstate fits the bill. Otherwise, keep looking.

Thank you for your candid feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience in Denver. Culture and leadership matter deeply at Sunstate, and no one should feel that hard work, integrity, or personal well-being are overlooked. We take concerns like these seriously and are continuing to evaluate how local leadership reflects and reinforces our values.
