Pros

The people below the senior managers are incredible. They take their job seriously and are knowledgable in the industry and about the company. Everyone I had the pleasure of working below the VP level with was helpful and they are patiently waiting for leadership to become an asset rather than a constant source of misery. If you are in National Sales, then you have the one true leader at Mobile Mini.

Cons

There is no direction across the company. The leadership team keeps changing except for the CEO. In the last year all the senior leaders have left except for the head legal guy. They start programs and never finish them, and they change the sales process annually to cover up a sales strategy with no vision, just call, call, and call. If they could get some leaders that understand how to run a publicly traded company they would blow the competition away. Instead they get beat by mom and pop providers.

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.
