Pros

401k insurance (although expensive) branch employees are great to work with

Cons

I was a long term employee run off by a poor compensation package and management ability to manipulate territories and make it impossible to make a livable wage. Easier than firing an employee they wanted gone, I suppose. Every year at Mobile Mini I made more money than the year before except when the economy crashed in 2008 and the last two years. The compensation package, contrary to what MMI will tell you, pays employees less now than this time last year. In theory you can put out more units per month and make 10% less than under the last package. Couple that with adding reps to your branch and gerrymandering the territories MMI can control what a rep makes. I went from almost 100k to 60 grand in two years. It is my belief that MMI values the ISR at about $55-60 grand. It seams that if reps consistently make more they will tweek the package to bring that payout down.

Thank you for your feedback and your commitment for over five years. It's unfortunate that we lost you due to compensation. Our sales people are making twenty percent more then they did a year ago. Like most sales organizations, we definitely have a pay for performance type model and those that are committed to their craft are making a very good income. We are devoted to our people and help them maximize our income structure. We very much value our ISR's, their professionalism and the relationships that they build with our customers. If you feel like you would like to share anything else, feel free to reach out to me directly astorck@mobilemini.com. Good luck to you in your future endeavors.

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.
