Pros

-Great for multi tasking stuff not related to work -Not a super complicated job -Can go a whole day with no customers in the office

Cons

-Not transparent in anything that could affect customers such as rate increases for a unit. -Raises do not cover the raise in cost of living (normally a 2% raise once a year and that's if you score high enough on the review). -If you take on another title (senior manager/trainer) you do not get a raise for that or a larger raise when the yearly review comes up. -Currently trying to single staff all facilities and then have some of us 'remote' work another store with no increase in pay for that. -You can get the same training mods multiple times a month or year (we've had the 'Slips/Trips/Falls' mod I think once a month every month with a few times it happening TWICE in a month). -Not as environmentally friendly as they claim. We are required to use one time plastic ties to secure units because they cost pennies versus the locks we had been using that we could reuse for customers. -If you are given Spotlight points for a job well done, you are taxed extra on that so be prepared to have a lower paycheck if you use the Spotlight points. -District managers can and will show favoritism towards employees and customers (white men have a better chance of having their way. If you aren't a white male be prepared to be screwed over). -If the shareholders aren't happy it will 100% affect how you do your job. Normally making it much more complicated. -Have an idea that might make the job easier? Be prepared to be told no it will not happen, have the thread closed and months later a favorite employee will say the same thing and it will go through. Ideas will be told no with no explanation. -If you waive a late fee or give a credit to a customer be prepared to be told not to do it again even though a customer can have up to two fee waives a year and up to 12 $25 credits a year. -The call center is a joke most times. No notes on reservations or leads and they like to make 24 hours holds into reservations that will affect your conversion. Bringing this up at any meeting just turns into a "deal with it or make them show up and make them rent".

Pros

Some freedom. Do it yourself. Good pay if you can hustle them into it.

Cons

The turn over is crazy I had 5 bosses in 6 years and changed districts more than I can count. The bosses all have there own way of doing things but then lie and hide behind it’s not my way it’s cubesmart way. No help from corporate. The turn over for dms alone is a red flag. Backwords systems. Same meetings every week to waste your time. Will fight you on fixing property issues. Have to explain to multiple different managers. Have your good coworkers overworked while letting toxic people and environments thrive.
