Pros

Benefit package is the only good thing they have going for them, but that changes like the management so beware.

Cons

This is by far the worst place I have ever worked. Management is like a revolving door, which should tell you something right there. Employees walking on egg shells constantly. They have no compassion for anything/anyone. Bunch of back stabbers, and no one ever wants to take ownership of ANYTHING!

Pros

If you enjoy micromanagement, over management, being treated like a child, being made to feel you are not a valued employee, then this is the perfect job for you.

Cons

The company is constantly looking at ways to manage through new metrics, by people who have no clue as to what a day in the life of a sales person entails.

Thank you for your feedback and my apologies for your experience. You are correct that sales professionals do not need to be micromanaged and if that is what your experience has been, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly and let's have a discussion. Our people are the backbone of our company and should be treated as such. I'd be happy to spend some time with you to take a deeper dive into this. Art Storck - astorck@mobilemini.com

Pros

W/S sells to a wide variety of industries and has plenty of potential customers. They also have very little competition.

Cons

W/S management from Area Manager to Executive seem to be blind as to how hard employees work at the Branch level. The business from coast to coast is kept alive by business shortcuts. Employee business expenses are rarely paid, sub contractors are always shorted payment, vendors normally don't come back because they were not paid and no new equipment ever unless you are National Accounts. Coast to coast the normal practice of hiring was to employ 2 people when 4 - 5 were needed to do the job safely. I didn't know a Service Manager in the company who was compensated well enough to deal with the amount of stress they had to take on.
