Best Work Experience I’ve Ever Had

This has been the only great work experience e I have ever had so far. Had I not been head hunted I would have stayed forever! I received a $1 raise before my 3 month probation. I have found in my experience they recognize those who work hard and not those who have been there the longest. As long as you care, you put in the work and you show you’re worth the investment, sunbelt WILL invest in you as an employee. There is ample opportunity for advancement and growth and the customers are really great! It is so bittersweet that I am leaving and would recommend this workplace to everyone. I even got my mom a job within the company because of how much I enjoyed my time here. They understand those who have families and are willing to work around it. My branch wasn’t just a bunch of employees we have been a legit family. I love them all as if they are my siblings.

Fast paced

Good company overall but very fast-paced and poor work-life balance. Definitely opportunities to move up in the company and make good money. Staffing problems occur on a regular basis, making it difficult to bring on new people due to increased workload on remaining employees.

Old boy's club with a major micromanagement problem

The company is massive with lots of opportunity to grow from a yard person into an OSR or PCM. Not much upward mobility beyond this as there are few positions and you have to "pay your dues".The store I worked out of had a gigantic micromanager running it. He would watch the GPS in your truck like a hawk, make sure you were at your desk not a second late or leave a second early. In the role of OSR, you're on the clock 24/7 with customers constantly calling you. The position isn't hourly and you should not be judged by how much time you spend in the office or on the road. It should be solely on results.Every little move seems arbitrary and sometimes upper management seems to not even buy into the programs they're trying to push.As a company that tries grow primarily through absorption, if you do end up working out of a store that was formerly a non-SBR company, there is a certain old boy's club attitude towards it. Most management has little to no business acumen and it seems that they rely a little too much on surface metrics to measure success.This place to say the least, over promised and under delivered on my 10 months of working there. Everything from work day, salary and work flow was embellished. It is unfortunate as there is a real opportunity for the company to grow and develop a sustained workforce with less turnover.
