Pros

The biggest Pro for this company is possibly the benefits that you get as far as health care and that's not saying too much when your health insurance is the best part of your job because honestly you should love going to work every day and that is completely the opposite of how I feel

Cons

The problem with Mobile Mini is that they are completely male-oriented and they are all about corporate betterment. I've even been told that my opinion doesn't matter and because if you don't have exact proof of something happening let's say for instance writing down everything somebody says to you or video taping everything that happens to you in a specific day then technically it didn't happen so they don't actually take you seriously when you have a complaint. The worst part is the people that are some of the best employees there don't get any recognition most of the dispatchers and people that actually work their butts off for this company that actually make it what it is don't get the correct recognition they should. The other huge issue is that the base salary is a joke and they just lowered the commission structure and they're actually hiring more people than what they need and they're doing that on purpose so that the employees that work there are hardly making any commission. It's extremely hard to get to the levels of commission you actually need to in order to make some decent money there. Lastly there is hardly any way to advance within the company a lot of people can become a branch manager but it is a huge jump from being an inside sales representative to being a branch manager and there is no in-between position. The huge negative is that there are so many branch managers that are hired that have no idea what their employees actually do for instance they don't know exactly what the dispatcher does and they don't know what they're inside sales representative does so how can you effectively run a branch when you have no idea what it is the people that work for you are really supposed to be doing? Don't get me wrong there are some really good branch managers that work for this company but they are definitely few and far between. And forget about upper management they are basically all catering to each other and that's all they care about they do not care about any of the employees that are underneath them it's all get your numbers and get your calls or your fired ....done!

Pros

Once upon a time, I enjoyed it.

Cons

New CEO took over. He’s pretty out of touch. My former colleagues call me and ask me return on a weekly basis still because it’s going poorly for them. They constantly make business decisions that counter organic growth. Probably because the motivator is not organic growth. Sales are treated like call center employees and there’s a ton of hate from the WS/ MM merger that wasn’t dealt with. It is definitely an ivory tower. You’re inside of it or you are not. If you’re liked, you can do whatever you want. As long as it looks like you’re committed to the group. This means that you can’t share a dissenting opinion though. Two of the worst three managers I have ever seen were there. They target individuals who don’t go be them the metrics they want in safety or performance. HR’s goal is to protect the company. Share nothing with them, ever.
