Pros

I got to be pretty close to a lot of my coworkers during my 4 years with the company and towards the end of my tenure that was the only positive aspect of the job. I thought I had found my forever job and company when I joined WillScot in early 2020 and leaving in 2024 was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Cons

Territory Sales Managers at WillScot used to have the ability to earn great money if they put in the hard work. Corporate roled out “new and improved” comp plans in Sept 2023 and Jan 2024 that effectively caused more work for less pay. The decrease in pay along with extreme micromanaging, huge rate increases with no added value for the customers, horrible billing issues, and the oldest fleet in the industry caused the sales role to be an exhausting uphill battle on a daily basis. Would be a decent place to break into sales for a recent college graduate.

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.
