Pros

Sometimes, your coworkers can be great. If you for some reason join this company and go to the training in Phoenix.... get a rental car and go to Sedona, Flagstaff, and the Grand Canyon. The company will reimburse your rental car fee. Stay away from the facility as much as possible. Everything else completely sucks. It will drain the life out of you. Corporate is a bunch of morons.

Cons

Commission - A complete Joke. The company used to be Mobile Mini, and we got paid for *everything* we sold. Now, its a complete gamble on how good your territory is. You have to get 35 activations a month, but 20 of those have to be containers alone. How many of those activations do you have to write? 0 (other people will do your job for you). How many can you write in a month and not get paid a single dollar? 100+!!! They cut the percentage you get as well on top of making a minimum number of activations. You will find that there are reps that literally have no idea what's going on ever and don't write orders in an entire month, but because they are in this insane "dirt" or territory, they will rake in unearned money. This happens because good reps in other areas will have great relations with people and write all over the country. The percentages are down around 50% compared to what they were in 2022 and most of 2023. You can do double the volume and make less money than the previous year. Micromanagement - There used to be none. Now if you breathe without making a stupid task, you are going to get berated by management. We use Salesforce here. They have the most busted version ever that ruined all process and flows we used to have. It launched like a buggy disaster and has been one ever since. But because they spent so much money on it, they have to die on the hill they created. I was blessed to have a good manager in both locations I worked in in my 2.5 years here. I will not include my managers in this category but I will explain what its like for most reps. You will have a General Manager, Market Sales Manager, Commercial Excellence Manager, Regional General Manager/Vice President GM, and then the VP of Sales. The layers of micromanagement trickle down. It gets repeated from one to the other over and over. So of course you have 7 meetings a week going over the same thing. It drives you mad. This job is not hard.

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.
