Iron Mountain Inc Reviews

Former Employee – worked at Iron Mountain Inc full-time for more than 3 years

Pros – High profit margins and a strong market presence. Most employees have been there for a long time and really understand the business. The Iron Mountain name is fairly well respected.

Cons – The company lacks senior management vision to mature the business any further which is why the investors are reorganizing it into a REIT. Their core business (box storage and shred) can not grow much more even with acquisitions.

Advice to Senior Management – The only thing left to do is keep cutting costs to keep the investors happy.

Former Employee – worked at Iron Mountain Inc full-time for more than a year

Pros – Investors will be happy when the company reaches REIT. If you like to watch "Game of Thrones," you can play a real life version working here.

Cons – Just about everything else. The company prides itself on promotions, but they are just title elevations. Brown nosing is encouraged. When people leave, no one gets promoted to the actual vacant role, except for the sycophants, and even then it is only if the director or VP does not have a friend they want to give the job to. Interviews are a dog and pony show; management knows whom they want to hire, despite how under qualified or incompetent they are. People are asked to leave when they voice disagreements. Lost of intradepartment feuding when a senior person leaves as each director strives to make their team look good and everyone else look bad. You can tell who is losing because he or she will jump ship and let his or her underlings be reassigned to the conquering manager.

Advice to Senior Management – Get your act together! You cannot leave departments leaderless for months to years and not expect this sort of mentality. Be more vigilant about the cronyism. There is a lot of it.
