Pros

Well-run corporate entity. In my opinion, the BEST in the top Rental Companies today. I've worked for United Rentals, RSC Equipment (acquired by UR) and a smaller company that Sunbelt acquired called Atlas Sales and Rentals-The Portable Cooling Specialists. Great growth potential. Variety of avenues (ie, divisions) you can select from and WORK TOWARDS. Sunbelt demands alot from its employees...managers (called PCM's or 'Profit Center Managers'), technicians, Equipment Rental Specialists, drivers, etc. However, in exchange for those high demands comes a wonderful safety-driven organization protecting its employees with the utmost attention and procedures in place, excellent benefits package and a World Class 'Support Center'...the culture is great in that we are forbidden from calling our 'Corporate Headquarters' a 'Corporate Headquarters'...they are viewed as the 'Support Center'...an amazing change in mindset I've never experienced but makes much sense and it shows with the great support.

Cons

Can experience long hour workdays and, due to the nature of the Climate Control Division, 'YES' we are a division that deals in the EMERGENCY business. I see many negative reviews from former (and even current employees) but PLEASE PEOPLE...know what you've signed up for. I'm a Sales Engineer and even last night I was out of technicians who could respond to an I/T Server from that lost A/C...We had to respond. I arrived after surveying the incident as I'm trained for, went to the branch, loaded the A/C, delivered and assisted the customer in installing. I will be going out there again at 10am to probably rent more a/c as the situation is even more dire. That's WHAT WE DO! Only other CON would be, although we have some great I/T Infrastructure, the HelpDesk at times can take a bit too long to get some issues resolved. Lastly, and probably the most important, is I really thing the training (in my division at least) should be improved.

Pros

The local teams doing the work in the branches are the only team members that make it a positive experience.

Cons

Senior field leadership and it's byzantine hierarchy is filled with matrixed leadership jobs for people who have been good soldiers with long tenure. They don't know anything about the actual work at the branch level or in the markets. Often they spend thousands at meetings in hotels and at bars in the evening which is extremely unprofessional. These same individuals press their political advantage to make sure the people they don't like get dismissed or marginalized and often move people into leadership to virtue signal DEI values. C-suite has been lost since 2021. Budget forecasting, fleet planning, and execution has been weak and lacks strong leadership position. Geographic territories don't make any sense and regions are oddly divided up based on tenure loyalties and not the needs of the business. Senior leadership can be counted on to work Tuesday - Thursday but have no problem asking front line employees to diminish their salary with 60 hour weeks, and pointless Saturday shifts.
