      Downsizing saved the business, but ruined the company.

      Pros

      Good health benefits and 401(k). Health cost is a % of your pay; that seemed very fair to me.

      Cons

      Williams Scotsman was forced to cut costs and shed many employees. At the same time, they added many responsibilities through data entry and Lean programs. The result? Too much to do with too few people. Couple that with mediocre pay, and you have a perfect storm of hostile work environment. Another result of cost cutting is their fleet is now ancient. However, the sales people continue to pretend like W-S has nothing but shiny new trailers. Result? Overworked employees trying to put lipstick on a pig, and unhappy customers.

      Just didn't live up to the promises

      Pros

      Within each branch is a very tight family atmosphere, and people work to help each other out. I received a lot of help from reps in other cities and even in my short time there, solid business relationships were formed. Everyone does work hard to get the job done and to make it as successful as possible for those around them

      Cons

      The people who ran the company, to be frank, don't know the first thing about business management. How they got as big as they did is beyond me. The training you receive is scarce. Spelling mistakes are rampant and the whole sales training is as gimmicky as it gets. The product is no better than anything else out there, but the price was always higher. They promised the moon but delivered on nothing. Inflated the wages and expected earnings during the interview process. Not very customer focused at all, it was all about the bottom line with little regard for maintaining good client relations. Just overall poor management. There were mass lay-offs two months after I was hired. . . and that included my position. An absolute waste having turned down other high profile jobs based on the opportunity that I was led to believe existed here.

      Pros

      Friendly work environment. Good team atmosphere

      Cons

      They pay all of the money to upper management. They told me I would make $45k just showing up to work. The actual number is $32k
