Mobile Mini Reviews

Current Employee – been working at Mobile Mini full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – Steel container very simple product to learn. Base salary of 30k plus commissions. Average rep does 30 rentals a month and earns between 10 and 40 dollars per deal in commission.

Cons – Company has no idea what direction it's headed. Job responsibilities, commission structure and expectations change monthly. Training is a joke. Decision makers make changes before figuring out impacts. Invested 40 million to make 7 cities capable to provide a moving service like PODS. Had to cancel entire initiative after 4 months and laid off 3% of company to make up for their mistake.

Advice to Senior Management – Stop asking consulting companies for advice and ask your own employees how to become more effective and efficient.

Advice to Senior Management – INVEST IN TO YOUR COMPANY. NO PRODUCT = NO BUSINESS

Former Employee – worked at Mobile Mini

Pros – Some really nice people. If you have a good manager and a good team, it is a decent place to work.

Cons – Most senior management lacks experience elsewhere. Decisions and changes are made quickly without good collaboration or planning. Pay is very low compared to similar jobs.

Advice to Senior Management – Don't try to change the culture and the business model at the same time if you don't have the money or personal commitment to invest in both parts.

Current Employee – been working at Mobile Mini

Pros – Mobile Mini was a growing company with the best sales people and product in the industry. They made it fun and made it easy to balance work and family. The employees on the local levels are awesome and make it easy to spend 40 hours a week with them. Mobile Mini is always looking to improve and with that they go through tribulations. We do have the best security to offer our customers and that has kept us on top.

Cons – Mobile Mini trying to adapt and grow has hit some hard times. Centralizing sales and all the phone calls have made it extremely difficult on our customers and long time employees. It seems like MMI is always adding high end positions in corporate and laying off at the branches. We are so slim at the branches that it is making it difficult to send out quality products and satisfy our customers. A lot of our long time employees and customers are leaving us for the competition. MMI makes it very hard for people to do business with us and I only wish that they would listen to their employees and customers who are on the front lines and know first hand what is happening. We have taken a very simple process and made it very difficult. Customers cannot even call directly to the local branch they want. Contractors hate it. That is our core business. They told us contractors will always stay with the local branches and that isn't the case anymore. Hopefully the necessary changes are made before it is too late. I love MMI and it breaks my heart to see what is happening to them.

Advice to Senior Management – Listen to the people at the branches. We are the ones that see everything first hand. We hear the complaints from the customers. We hear compettion raving about our call center. I have heard from several competitiors that by us centralizing everything we have increase their business and they love it. Our core customers are leaving us, because we make it to difficult to do business. Please find away to get in touch with what is really happening at the branches. Start our own survey for customers to see how dissatisfied they are with our phone system and the quality of our units because we do not have enough man power at the branches. Our stocks may be up, but so is our number of dissatisfied customers and we are powerless at the branches to fix it. All we can do is give them alternate ways to reach theirs salespeople so they do not leave us..
