Pros

Small "mom and pop" feel to the company.

Cons

Completely dysfunctional organization. Extremely disorganized, no training, no SOP's, and no support. Terrible company culture. Too many people wearing too many hats. Narcissistic leadership who refuse to leverage employee experience to make company better. Owner of the company has never worked for a large company so he is clueless on how to make the organization operationally sound. The Fleet Services side is profitable because Thermo King has a huge market share so that division is a "cash cow." The trailer rental and leasing side is also profitable. The machinery side is a complete joke. They sell CASE which has virtually no market share and only gets "the crumbs" left from Caterpillar, John Deere, Bobcat, and Kubota. Very difficult to find people to work for the machinery side because they have a bad reputation in each market they are in. The construction equipment rental division is also a joke and poorly run. Cannot hold a candle to larger or local equipment rental companies. Only reason company is growing is because they are acquiring other businesses. They are certainly not growing organically. Best advice to anyone looking at the Machinery division is to look elsewhere. Simply not a good company.

Pros

Autonomy, flexible schedule, helpful employees (most), and the company tries to promote a fun, loose culture.

Cons

Poor management at branch level and as a result, poor training and support. Also, not much room for advancement.

Pros

Huge potential of company growth. Laid back and casual work environment, frequent personal interaction with vice presidents and owner. Good opportunity for career growth to a certain extent.

Cons

Customers have low confidence in Sonsray and the CASE brand. High turnover in management and service departments creates lack of trust from customers. Safety not taken seriously enough at the upper management level and it shows at the lower management levels.
