Pros

Commission (but this keeps on being reduced)

Cons

*Doesn't matter how long you have worked for them and how hard you have worked - they won't think twice about you losing your job *Have trust issues- don't trust their staff and their skills *Always changing what they expect of you - expect a lot but don't support you *If you are being bullied or treated unfairly this will carry on even if you tell them as they don't listen. *They say that one of their core values is Family - yet staff that have young children or pregnant - don't get the support they need (they lose their job and find they have no option of part-time)

Pros

Good business concept with high selling point on the patented Tri-Cam Locking System for leasing and selling steel containers. Many hourly people are "salt of the earth" committed to their positions at the branch levels. Commission plan is favorable but frequently develop disincentive loopholes.

Cons

Half-assed execution of a good business concept largely due to the lack of captial reinvestment (i.e.trucks, security offices, and design innovations) may eventually take its toll on overall revenue success. Mobile Mini is miserly cheap and its trucks and containers are in dire need for updating or replacement, office and yard facilities are spartan at best. Most salient is the MMI regional management tendency to resist feedback from its' front line hourly employees.

Position was not what I expected

Pros

Health, vision and dental insurance benefits are good and have low premiums. Coworkers are nice and very helpful. Strict adherence to 8 to 5. Overtime not expected or allowed.

Cons

Inside sales position is high pressure, extremely micromanaged telemarketing. Inside and outside cold calls required. Not my cup of tea. Emphasis on quantity of work, not quality. Unrealistic expectations.
