Pros

Decent benefits, hard to get fired

Cons

Upper management is totally disconnected from the real work. Constant acquisitions and management restructurings create confusion for longtime employees. Bloated salesforce and SAP systems cause workers to spend more time logging data than actually working. 40 hours in office mandatory for 99% of employees. Minimal training, if any is provided at all. Overpriced products make it hard for sales staff to win contracts over competitors charging half the price. Ridiculously overvalued assets suggest that this company is more focused on short term valuation than longterm profits. WillScot is a house of cards waiting to collapse when this fraud comes to light.

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.
