Pros

At first they start you off with a $500.00 per week salary, until the end of your ninety days are up, between which time you shoud have built up enough business with contractors in your region that you have repeat business. After the ninety days are up the salary per week is dropped down to $200.00 per week. The products that they lease and/or sell are a much higher quality, much higher security than the competitors have to offer! Mobile mini products are more expensive than the competitors, however when it comes to securing jobsite materials, tools,equipment, all of which are the contractors very expensive investments in order to complete their jobs, it is worth it!

Cons

First of all the training should be much more extensive, when a company chooses to do basic training and then stop there, they are going to get the basic results. No real growth of the employee, no in depth knowledge of how to attract business by offering things such as customized designs for all who wish to have a "DIFFERENT" type of ground office built to specifications based on"THEIR" needs and future needs, cost analysis. If the communication were put in place so that the basic training involved or even was extended into the "next level" the company would make more money ......O....and so would the little employee!

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.
