Pros

Company vehicle for transport to and from work location. 21 days paid holidays.

Cons

No opportunity to grow and get promoted. Middle management are there to keep you in your place in your basic job. Responsibilities and workload evolve without any raise in compensation or job title. Turnover of staff is extremely high so the rest of us are always overworked and FORCED to do overtime. Told only the people who do most overtime will get promoted to TMO2 with higher pay but nobody has gotten the promotion, I’ve been there a year and others have 4, 10 years experience and working at the company. Basically a DEAD END JOB! Get a disciplinary for going on an internal corse at sunbelt rentals that’s how badly they don’t want you to progress or skill up. Internal training for traffic management isn’t even LANTRA, it’s a bad course, bad qualification so you can’t take it anywhere else. In traffic management there’s a lot of illegal stuff they make you do like overloading the van, unsafe vehicle and they look the other way as long as you keep doing the jobs for them even though they should be cancelled for safety reasons/lack of appropriate equipment. Also you get sent out on 2 man jobs by yourself, unsafe night time line working.

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.
