Pros

Mobile Mini;s Phoenix HQ offers a great opportunity for entry into working for a corporate head quarters. There are opportunities to get involved in projects and committees. Benefits are average. Bonuses opportunities are strong given the growth of the company. Job security at the Phoenix location as they are trying to reduce turnover and prefer to have people leave of their own volition.

Cons

The company is not committed to creating a healthy culture in which hard work is rewarded and those who do not buy in to the vision are managed out. Instead, hard work is rewarded with harder work and those who do not buy in are allowed to stay on quietly until they choose to leave. Opportunities for growth and training are touted, but there is no follow-through. Employees may have the chance to be involved in new areas, but there is not any follow-through or support to ensure their success. There is little to no accountability, so change is not committed to. Feedback and training from management is incredibly inconsistent and unreliable, and much of the management is unprofessional in their communication of employee relations issues. Confidentiality is not respected or adhered to. Pay and salary is extremely out of date.

Pros

Flexibility Vacation Great co-workers Training covered

Cons

Blatant favoritism. Reps with gold territories are the bread and butter. During slow periods, upper management will tell you to talk to these reps to see 'what they do to earn business'. Waste of time. They will give you the same ideas and strategies you yourself already know. Fact is, their territory has a great demand and market compared to others. It's nonsense that these reps continue to get praise for sitting on a chair all day, receiving inbound calls and emails for activations above those that actually go out in the field and put in effort to find business. Especially during the slow periods. There is a high turnover rate for a reason. Upper Management also set unreasonable goals. Goals such as matching your prior year numbers, even though they stripped a major territory you had last year that you don't have now... I won't even get into the nonsense that is SPOC accounts. I encourage and recommend anyone during the hiring process to ask about your territory. Do your research. What the numbers were year after year as well as the success of the previous rep. Actually see if there is demand and potential in that market. Remember, you are just a number.

Appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback and apologies if that has been your experience. There are many factors that happen behind the scenes that go into to cutting territories to level the playing field. It is regionally structured so depending on your location, things can slow down due to weather constraints at times but we've also seen spikes in those areas during other times of the year as well, in which, the goals set should align with that. My advice would be to diversify your client base by getting into Vertical markets and maximize opportunities with National Accounts. Please feel free to reach out to me directly if you need some additional help or support as we recognize that our People are the ones that make it happen! Thanks again.
