Pros

Friendly employees. And that's about it. This will be focussed on what is really wrong with mobile mini as a whole as you can see in the majority of these reviews

Cons

Where do you even start? No one cares about the yard what so ever. Let me tell you something, the yard workers and drivers are what is keeping this company afloat and they are treated like step children. The pay is laughable. 3% (30-50 cent raises) this isn't McDonald's. Boss makes a dollar, you make a penny...not even a dime. Management is disconnected and in their own realm and only come to you when they need something to benefit from. ISR book units without even checking if they're available, leaving the yard to fix their mistake on top of turning around rent ready units. They preach safety but don't want to put money into practicing it. "Do more with less" mentality, well, that doesn't work when you're fixing a 12 year old container or office. Corporate is exactly that, completely disconnected from ANY branch, cares about their salary and stock holding not their employees. This company has gone swiftly down hill since the implantation of the new CEO and his batch of buddies that he brought in. If you are skilled labor, go look somewhere else for a job and save yourself the headache.

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.
