      I have been working at Equipment Depot full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      It's a great company. I have always been treated by the utmost respect. I have seen some reviews on this website about not being a good place to work if you are a woman. I totally disagree with that. It is a family company and they always understand when anyone, both men and women have to take time off to care for their own family. There are definitely more men here than women. But I would say that is because it is a male dominated industry. Most of the employees are mechanics and you just don't see women in that industry.

      Cons

      I wish sometimes we would hear more about what was going on in the company, not just my branch.

      Pros

      Independence, territory was well versed in the company and the products

      Cons

      Sales management was very good on product but terrible on people skills

      Advice to Management

      Hire a sales manager that can actually motivate from his/her experience and motivation rather than badgering and veiled threats.

      I have been working at Equipment Depot full-time (Less than a year)

      Pros

      Work hours are flexible, care about the employees and their growth in career, good transparency from mid to high management in terms of financial performance of the company, very honest to their employees

      Cons

      Always lot of restructure in high management position, lack of rules and procedures in work process, too many reports goes around in email but without having a clear guidance of what’s the purpose of the reports for.

      Advice to Management

      Clear guidelines needs to be set to achieve the monthly goal. Suggest More training programs to provide to employees, listen to their opinions in their area instead of just looking at the budget numbers. Suggest giving Incentive to employees in the branch to increase their moral value. Provide coffee in the office is needed!! (Every one just bring their own coffee is pretty depressing!)

      Pros

      All of the people who work here are absolutely great. The issue is that there is not a standard set of procedures for operation from Department to department so nothing is defined therefore it seems unorganized in certain aspects

      Cons

      No operational SOP's makes the billing and scheduling process confusion with sales

      Pros

      There are a lot of good people there and at times is fun place

      Cons

      Upper management is a joke - they have taken us from 60% of the industry shares to 4% in less than 5 years - a lot of buddy buddy favorite and brown noses

      Advice to Management

      Stop getting rid of good people and can the dead weight

      I worked at Equipment Depot full-time (More than 10 years)

      Pros

      It use to be a great place to work. I was at depot over ten years. The management team that was in place when I was there didn't have a clue. Once PON took over is when it went down hill. Too much mid level management that run on the buddy system. People should go to work to make a living not friends.

      Cons

      Management team had no experience or very little. They have run off all the people that had dedication and loyalty along with the experience to make profit for the company.

      Advice to Management

      People should go to work to make a living not friends. Just in the region i was in, Depot lost over a 100 years of collective experience in the material handling and heavy equipment industry.

      Pros

      Good benefits, some if the people you work with we're great. The part was decent, and they're we're chances for certain bonus's.

      Cons

      Managment has no clue what it's doing. No training, always trying to lay blame, never want the full story, if you're a woman. Women, beware of you're looking to work here. You're held to completely different standards than the men.

      Advice to Management

      Your service administrators are people too. It's not just the male technicians that make a place. Only caring what they needed does a disservice to your other employees. To be so outrageously and openly sexist, is crazy in today's market.

      There are no cons to list at this time and I doubt there will be any to list in the future.

      Keep up the good work in fostering this positive environment for employees to excel in.

      Executive team is really great at seeking out talent and promoting within when the talent is available. Working in HR, I can see how much they care about employees. Great work-family balance. They take their values to heart, all employees get paid 2 days a year to volunteer within the community, they have fun holiday parties, and people are just happy and pleasant to work with here. Great coffee!

      Cons

      None come to my mind
