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 Pay and salary is extremely out of date.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

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.
