EquipmentShare

The team itself is the best part of working here. The field techs, shop techs, and drivers are consistently helpful, knowledgeable, and great to work with. They know their jobs well and are always willing to explain new concepts or share their experience. There’s a strong sense of teamwork,  whether it’s loading a truck for the next run or helping with heavy work in the shop, people are quick to step in and support each other.

The benefits are solid. Nothing extraordinary, but the range of coverage options is wide and easy to understand. Corporate also provides frequent gifts such as cash, gift cards, clothing, bags, and other small perks, which is a nice touch. Equipment quality is about what you’d expect for rental equipment, decent overall but naturally wears down over time.

Cons:
Management varies heavily by location, so this review is based solely on my experience at my specific branch.

Communication is one of the biggest issues. When there’s a breakdown in communication on management’s side, it’s often brushed off, handed to someone else, or redirected rather than addressed directly. It’s rare to see management take responsibility. They frequently doubt the firsthand experience of employees who know the job well, questioning procedures, decisions, or the order of operations even when those actions are standard or necessary.

Management is also frequently unreachable, especially after hours. There were several situations where immediate managerial decisions were needed due to minor emergencies or time-sensitive issues, and attempts to reach my direct general manager went unanswered. The following day, there was no follow-up or interest in understanding why contact was made or what the issue had been.

Pay:
The starting pay is on the lower end, though it’s fair enough for people who are brand-new to CDL work or the rental industry. However, if you have several years of experience, the pay will likely feel underwhelming for the level of responsibility involved. Pay raises are also disappointing. Management gives plenty of verbal praise throughout the year, but when annual reviews come around, the topic of compensation is avoided or brushed aside. It’s frustrating to be told you’re doing great work but see little to no financial recognition for it.

Hours & Work-Life Balance:
The hours are highly unpredictable. Some weeks you’re running your e-log all the way out with 14-hour days, while other weeks you’re struggling to reach 40 hours. During the busy season, overtime is extremely abundant, which can be good financially but exhausting physically.

Work-life balance is definitely challenged. In the interview, the company emphasizes being family-oriented and respectful of personal time, but that idea is often disregarded when it becomes inconvenient for the branch — regardless of the seriousness of the personal situation.

Weekend work was also misrepresented. I was told during the interview that weekend shifts were “very rare” and typically only for emergencies. At first, that seemed true, but it quickly turned into working multiple weekends a month.

Leadership will arrive late often. Almost 25% of total workforce is family hires. I quickly noticed that making money on rental contracts has a higher precedence than maintenance and personnel safety. Required proper unit inspections are rushed, will make uncomfortable with passing grades. Customers complain about equipment breakdowns within hours of receipt . The Dispatcher is visibly overwhelmed, combats misinformation, and adjusts on the fly, thusly putting strain on drivers.  Customer satifaction is low due to equipment failures, swaps, delivery constraints.  You are told Veterans are loved company takes advantage of seasoned work ethic and leadership; but disregards proven abilities to improve workplace product. If you're getting a military pension; will utilize that against higher wages. Pay scale is Cap/Limit style. Why would I provide them 20 loyal years with hope of a raise if I capped out in first year? . I was reassigned to a new position due to no need for 3 Rental Coordinators. 
They took $3 of my hourly pay without any reprimands or early warning but then posted online a job for Rental Coordinator anyway. Standards are not held equally across the board at this location. Pay is regulated by favoritism. Standard hours are 50 hours weekly (5-10hr shifts). They ask for Saturday volunteers when maintenance loads gets behind due to never enough service technicians. They utilize personsal phone text messages at all hours of the day. Leadership will go weeks without interaction on face to face basis. Micromanaging at its finest; leadership's ability to talk down to its workforce is irritating, and be concerned about safety only when they get an early warning that corporate safety is showing up.  Its tough to know who you work for because direct manager will divert you to another superviser, then back original manager.  Pretend concern from leadership; when they ask if you are okay but actually leaving early for the day, that doesnt say genuine at all, it says don't botter me with your questions because Im headed home. Human resource complaints and training have become the norm, due the unproven/untrained leadership. Questionable practices here; reinforcing the turnover rate this place deals with. Location has organizational/management issues verified by unhappy grumblings of overworked who bandaid the ineptitude with catered Fruday lunches, for the wages, you can make better elsewhere with an established structure and less drama. We may not love going to work, but we shouldn't dread going there.

A typical work day as a rental coordinator is never really typical. Hours are Monday - Friday from 7-5, that you can count on. 

Your day will have many twists and turns and changes along the way, some anticipated, and some a total surprise. You can start the day with 1 or 2 orders/deliveries and end with 20. You may have all the equipment you need on site or you may be scrambling to source it from hundreds of miles away. You can also have equipment that has problems or more than likely customer knowledge issues. 

This job is never typical, and that is the best part. You are constantly thinking, making decisions, and solving problems. It can be finding equipment in the fleet, swapping something out, talking to TAMs (sales reps), coordinating with your service manger, rerouting drivers, cutting purchase orders, and pretty much anything else you can imagine. Most days fly by and you are always doing something. It may be learning a new system or skill or learning how to run a telehandler, excavator, dozer, skid steer, or maybe if you're lucky you get to take the 150' Ultra Boom up. 

You never know what the day will bring and in my opinion that is the best part. You are always thinking and moving. You are constantly learning and sharpening your skills. You get great benefits, they even give us rewards for walking around (Wellable) plus a monthly family night stipend. We always have snacks and the whole team shares a meal together regularly. 

Management at our branch is amazing. They truly value and care about not only you but your family. That goes up the chain as well all the way to the top. I talk to people from locations all over the US and hear amazing stories daily. 

Plus they not only want you to succeed they want you to grow. They want you to learn new skills and have many opportunities for advancement not only where you live but all over the USA.  So if a move someday down the road is in your plans, you are in the right spot. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Home every night and assigned trucks.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
You’re delivering construction equipment and being told by dispatch to go to areas where they should be sending a rollback dispatch also expects you to call every customer before and  pick ups and deliveries. drivers responsibility to correct sales peoples incorrect addresses and POC‘s and once a week we get a text from dispatch Telling us if we don’t follow this new rule or if we do this thing again, he threatens us with write ups, at least once a month if not once a week if you don’t know, this is industry this is not the place to start

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Like any other company they preach about values and safety when it suits them and then it all goes out the window when they’re falling short on their monthly quotas. The company overall seems like a good company but this Hutto store is definitely different in the negative way. Most of the drivers are willing to help and get along with each other most of the guys in the shop get along with the drivers, the problems all stem from the office and management as of lately morale is been s!$t

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Get up and get to work before the sun rises and in the winter time it’s dark when you get here and it’s dark when you leave it can be stressful if you get caught up in the daily drama and most of the time there’s some Wrong with the equipment and as  a driver If you don’t catch it before you deliver it, you can get blamed for delivering it broken or damaged. You’re consistently been given the wrong point of contact so you’re playing secretary in your truck a lot of times the addresses are correct they’re off by just a little ways but enough to throw you off. You have to have good customer service skills because a lot of times the customer is upset that you’re not there when he thought you were going to be there and it all stems from the Office or sales reps making promises they can’t keep

Equipment Rental Company with no real focus on the actual rental customer and the day to day of the rental industry. Not in touch with the rental industry and the boots on the ground that make rental’s happen. Corporate people with no industry knowledge, the corporate employees enjoy all the perks as a standard culture in the company as the branch level is not the case at all. They throw money at the cost centers and not at the obvious profit centers. The worst part about a company is when owners and upper management allow hostile work environments and poor treatment of employees. No backbone to standup for what is right and correct mistreatment or errors. No clear expectations of job and training. Poor training and far below the industry standard. What do you expect from a company that is given billions of dollars by investors to grow at such a rapid speed with no real experience to hire and train by qualified people. They hire all the wrong people for the wrong role. It’s unfortunate when they have some amazing talented employees without the proper support to be as successful as they could be. 

Horrible management, no one has a clue of what’s going on, no one at the location is customer service driven, horrible communication & disconnect between departments, no morale, thrown to wolves without any direction, the disconnect between local management and corporate management will have you flabbergasted. For sales there is no right way of doing things - there is always an issue with how you handle situations when you’re left for dead either way so it’s always a lose - lose situation. Our branch lost so many customers in the time of my employment due to negligence of service, or parts. These two factors are the support for your sales team, without them you won’t ever had repeat business. Management was clueless and didn’t have a drive for really going above and beyond to help customers resolve issues. Technicians were never trained on any equipment, and with today’s technology the need for trained technicians is a must. Your people should know what they are looking at and working on. IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A LONG TERN CAREER, THIS IS NOT THE PLACE YOU WANT TO GROW. Now I will say this, the regional operations manager is driven for customer service, if we had 5 of him as store managers the place maybe turned around. Besides that you’re better off working at chic fil a. There’s a whole lot more than can be said but hopefully this helps you make a decision on considering employment under EquipmentShare.

I would not recommend working at EquipmentShare. My experience was disappointing due to poor communication, lack of leadership, and how employee concerns were handled.

I was terminated after a “”union member””!reported that I was not wearing a harness while operating a scissor lift. I believe the situation was misunderstood and I was not given a fair opportunity to explain my side.

I came to work ready to work and focused on getting the job done. I felt like my work ethic was not recognized. While I was staying busy and completing work, I often saw other employees spending long periods of time standing around talking instead of working. It was frustrating to feel like putting in effort was not valued.

I was also pressured into buying lunch for the crew, and then I was let go the following day, which made the situation even more frustrating.

I also had concerns with how safety processes were handled. I felt there was pressure around safety inspection numbers and reporting that did not always match what I was seeing in the field.

The leadership and management structure need improvement. From my experience, the manager seemed disorganized and often relied heavily on what others were telling him instead of fully understanding what was happening day to day. Better communication, accountability, and leadership would make a major difference.

Overall, I would not recommend this company to someone looking for a fair, organized, and well-managed workplace.

A typical day at the office involves preparing incoming and outgoing orders, handling email correspondence and taking care of any necessary preparations. 

In the short time I've been with EquipmentShare, I've already gained a wealth of knowledge. I've learned the details of our heavy equipment understanding not only how they operate but also the function of each component. 

I've found the mgmt. team to be very structured, fair and understanding of employees. We are treated with equality, our voices are heard and our contributions are valued. 

What I enjoy most about coming to work is the pride I feel in being part of such a magnificent company. 
EquipmentShare demonstrates remarkable generosity towards communities across the board. The compassionate individuals behind the company name are what truly make it enjoyable for me. 
ES consistently invests in its employees and clients, providing both an exceptional workplace and excellent service to our clients.  

I also appreciate the wonderful perks EquipmentShare offers throughout the year, from group lunches and team-building activities to health coaches who support our mental and physical well-being. The benefits are numerous! 

I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work for such a phenomenal company which truly feels like my home away from home. If you're looking for your dream job, you've found it here! 

Working at EquipmentShare has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The company is constantly evolving, which provides endless opportunities for personal and professional growth. With a strong focus on technological innovation, EquipmentShare is always pushing boundaries—developing new tools, platforms, and systems that make us more efficient and ahead of the curve in the equipment rental industry.

The fleet itself is continually expanding with new, cutting-edge machines, ensuring that we can provide solutions for any type of job that comes our way. Whether it’s a large-scale construction project or a specialized task, EquipmentShare’s growing footprint and wide range of resources allow us to meet every challenge head-on.

What makes the job even more fulfilling is the culture and leadership. Management is not only supportive but also driven, consistently challenging us to improve upon last month’s performance and celebrate progress. Each day brings unique challenges, keeping the work exciting and engaging, while fostering growth and innovation.

I truly enjoy coming to work because of the people I work alongside—the teamwork, the shared goals, and the drive to succeed make it feel more like a family than just a job. I love what I do, I love the people I work with, and I love being part of EquipmentShare. I look forward to many more years of growth, success, and the incredible opportunities that are still to come.
