Vantaggi

Strong messaging around transparency and transformation. Potential for improvement if aligned with action.

Svantaggi

Transparency and transformation messaging doesn’t match reality. Leadership doesn’t come across as trustworthy—it often feels performative. Inconsistencies in how people are treated; favoritism appears to play a role. Promotions for some while others face long-term salary freezes. “Positions” were said to be eliminated, yet similar roles are quickly recreated. Those who speak up often end up leaving. Feedback is said to be valued, but in practice honest input doesn't feel welcomed. Since the layoffs in 2025, the environment has felt volatile and uncertain. Ongoing internal issues make buying companies a problem.

Thank you for your tenure and for your perspective and feedback. Transitioning from a homegrown company to a scalable, competitive employer is no small challenge, especially for a company of our size. One leader can’t do it alone, but does need to inspire leaders across the company to believe in the opportunity in front of us. Your insights are valuable and hopefully shared with your leader and/or the CEO directly.

Vantaggi

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

Svantaggi

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.

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.
