The good ole days

Pros

for employees that have been with the company for years the time off is very good. Managers are aloud to work from home.

Cons

Once upon a time this company truly cared about it's employees. The last few years lay off after lay off has increased the amount of stress for each employee substantially. There isn't enough hours in the day to get the workload completed which increases errors and employee retention. Executive management makes odd decisions without communication to employees to ensure they are vested in the direction the company is going.

High Anxiety

Pros

Branch level employees are typically solid, reliable, and committed to support a niche storage/office product line, while working in a demanding customer service environment with limited resources.

Cons

Top heavy Upper management is erratic and insincere under new CEO. Corporate mandates, goals and values change quarterly while the SG&A soars due to Mobile Mini's leadership struggles with management. The company continues to lose customers due to rate increases and aged inventory. Clearly, Mobile Mini is gearing up for some kind of acquisition as the portable container business is undergoing a wave of global consolidation. As North America's largest competitor, Mobile Mini appears a prime acquisition target for a new holding company.

Pros

Office furniture is comfortable.

Cons

Founded in the 1950's, and never really left. If you enjoy working in an environment full of older divorcees angry about having to commute from Harford County to Baltimore, this is the place for you. Upper management operates like a less entertaining episode of Mad Men. This is a place where energy, ethics, and entrepreneurship is not allowed. Literally, the most exciting part of this company is their product.
