Pros

Consistent hours and OT every week. Weekly pay. Benefits

Cons

Working outside all day. Dirty work cleaning all the construction equipment. They'll fire you for anything. Not the best job but pays the bills. Lazy coworkers only makes your job harder.

Dirt we do have! But, we do provide uniforms and a free cleaning service. We invite Mike Rowe from Dirty Jobs to come check us out. The equipment industry is definitely not for those who do not like dirt! Please provide us with any additional feedback, at feedback@sunstateequip.com.

a remote surveillance culture

Pros

lots of required overtime if you would like to make additional money. there are healthcare benefits coworkers were helpful and camaraderie was good.

Cons

constant remote surveillance by Phoenix. No kidding, various people "watching" even the senior mechanics. phone calls from Phoenix, "why are you sitting down?" overtime not optional. you will be working the evening, the weekend on rotation. yes you'll be paid for that, but hits the work/life balance hard. emphasis on throughput, not quality. recurrent safety issues pointed out but management just casually interested. master mechanics spending surprising amounts of time scraping decals off of machines. is that really how you want to deploy your best people? HR orientation done with enthusiasm but how the company says it treats people is different from how it really does. seemed like there was a firing every few weeks, reasons were thin. management seemed to relish canning people "throw 'em away, try another one." management a bit culty. even very young manager would say "I hope to finish my career here." apparently that was the cool thing to say. leaving to finish my career elsewhere was one of the best moves I made.

Pros

Company has strong core values and awesome long time employees. Company was built on values that are slowly falling apart.

Cons

New Lower management hired in the La-metro area is turning the company upside down by going completely against the companies core values. Upper management is completely out of touch with what is going on around them and is not realizing the terroristic mentality of their lower management thus allowing the company to completely fall apart below them.
