CubeSmart Self Storage reviews

-Relatively low pay -Hard work goes unnoticed -Not a job to work in for longevity -Corporate gets way more days off than store level -Higher level managers all seem to be male and not people of color -Room for advancement is pretty low -District team meetings required at very FAR distances

The organization's rate of growth over the past few years severely stressed existing personnel. While the growth should be applauded, it came at a significant cost to human resources. Some departments hired more staff to handle their respective workloads while others did not. The disparity in staffing levels and workloads impacted managers and staff alike with uneven opportunities for [formal and informal] professional development, nearly unavailable middle management who seemed to be buried in one project or another, varying levels of individual burnout and curtailed networking opportunities being examples. It was truly hellacious. Project management skill sets across the organization were not readily apparent. The lack of applied standard PM practices critically harmed company initiatives with long-term impact on both HQ and retail teammates. In some cases, the project resources assigned to task execution were stretched beyond any reasonable expectation given existing workloads and rates of compensation. This made for some jaw dropping scenarios. For job candidates, it will be important to understand the workload (easily quantifiable in the context of CubeSmart), available staffing and potential professional opportunities prior to accepting a position. Asking the hard questions up front and making sure that the financial ask is inline with the presented work conditions will set up the candidate for a decent experience in the organization. It is possible to find a really good work group in the company. Benefits were OK, but not amazing. Due diligence with compensation and benefits offered v. workload and defined professional opportunities for growth is a must!
