Mobile Mini – “A company that needs to learn from history, reassess the value of employees.”
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!
Advice to Senior Management
The first part of advice would be in regards to placing that extra bit of value towards the leasing /sales rep, the training, the next level training, the investment in the people that move your merchandise, that would create less turnover!
