Pros

I’ve worked at companies that talk the talk when it comes to values, but Sunstate walks the walk. How do you have the lowest turnover in the industry without forcing employees to sign non competes? CULTURE! Employees are highly invested in, supported, and empowered to do what it talked to take care of the customer. The core values are aligned with the company goal of providing the best service in the industry. No penny is saved when it comes to investing in employees, developing their careers, and making sure they have the tools and support to grow both market share and their own careers. Joining the Sunstate family is the best career decision I’ve made.

Cons

No cons the speak of at this point.

Pros

Salary was very good for market, with decent work-life balance. Branch employees are great coworkers.

Cons

Hard times are back for the construction industry and the Sunstate tech experiment is over. After a couple years of moderate investment in trying to bring their internal and customer tools out of the Stone Age and compete with their major competitors' offerings, Sunstate decided to cut their losses and go back to business as usual rather than make the organizational changes necessary to let their teams do real work. Leaders and executives planning for months to produce vague, unmeasurable goals for the quarter that just flew by should have been the first sign that the end was near, but they limped on for a while before calling it a wrap with multiple rounds of layoffs. This affects roles across the company who rely on increasingly aging and broken tech to do their jobs, and customers who remain fully dependent on their reps to get any reporting or issues fixed. The only technology investments Sunstate is making now is increasingly intense performance monitoring of drivers and technicians in response to their industry-leading turnover numbers. The "we're a family" line was always nonsense but it truly ended after the Wattses exited.

Thank you for your feedback and for recognizing the strength of our team, compensation, and work environment. We acknowledge the challenges facing the construction industry and the impact that recent changes have had across the business. Decisions around structure and investment are made with a focus on long-term sustainability and performance, and we understand they can create uncertainty. Technology remains a critical part of our strategy. While our approach continues to evolve, we are committed to investing in tools and systems that improve both the customer experience and how our teams operate day to day. We also recognize the importance of clear, actionable goals and strong communication from leadership. That is an area we continue to focus on as we strengthen alignment and execution across the organization. We appreciate candid feedback and remain committed to building a stronger path forward.
