Pros

Friendly employees. And that's about it. This will be focussed on what is really wrong with mobile mini as a whole as you can see in the majority of these reviews

Cons

Where do you even start? No one cares about the yard what so ever. Let me tell you something, the yard workers and drivers are what is keeping this company afloat and they are treated like step children. The pay is laughable. 3% (30-50 cent raises) this isn't McDonald's. Boss makes a dollar, you make a penny...not even a dime. Management is disconnected and in their own realm and only come to you when they need something to benefit from. ISR book units without even checking if they're available, leaving the yard to fix their mistake on top of turning around rent ready units. They preach safety but don't want to put money into practicing it. "Do more with less" mentality, well, that doesn't work when you're fixing a 12 year old container or office. Corporate is exactly that, completely disconnected from ANY branch, cares about their salary and stock holding not their employees. This company has gone swiftly down hill since the implantation of the new CEO and his batch of buddies that he brought in. If you are skilled labor, go look somewhere else for a job and save yourself the headache.

Pros

Hours of operation is the only benefit.

Cons

Cheap as in materials needed to complete jobs. Yard employees are forgotten.about 99% of the time. Given 2 hours to complete a unit that isn't even in our yard but the driver is picking it up currently. Its a reocurring battle fighting and expressing frustration with management. They flat out don't care, all they care about is making their bonus and not the quality of units sent out. Let's not forget mold and mildew in the units because they all leak.

Thank for your feedback. I have personally spent many hours out in the field at several different branches. While being out in the yard, have not visually noticed anyone cutting corners or using sub-par materials. One of the value adds that we stand behind is the quality of the product that we get out to our customers. If you are experiencing less the excellence, please reach out to me directly at astorck@mobilemini.com and I will get it addressed.

Pros

Baltimore location is in Fells Point, which is an exciting area - lots of things going on, waterfront, etc. Co-workers are professional and cooperative.

Cons

Benefits are so-so. For example, health plan has a lifetime maximum benefit. First time I had encountered that in 20 years of employment. High rate of turnover in staff.
