Pros

The Willscot managers were great and eased the merger as best they could. The Willscot employees tried their best to deal with the bs from the merger, but it was best we all left.

Cons

After the merger, the new managers leading from Phoenix were terrible. They lead by threatening your jobs and yelling over Zoom calls like children?!?! In what world do they think that actually works? 0 communication from the top and would not work for this company every again.

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.
