Pros
I really enjoy my position as a District Manager at Public Storage. #1- I love the competitive environment. Everyday I get to motivate, coach and train my team to reach daily and monthly goals. I enjoy being able to see where my performance stacks up against all DMs in the company each month. #2- Work life balance- I can honestly say I enjoy going to work everyday and I NEVER work after 7pm daily. Coming from Enterprise Rent-A-Car, I hated Monday Morning. Now, I enjoy waking up and going to work everyday. #3- Coaching process- I love being able to interact and coach my team one on one 3-4 days per week. Our structured process sets myself and my team up for success and I like the impact I am able to have daily with each team member.
Cons
The hours are great! Not opening til 9:30am and closing at 6:00pm daily is definitely great for Work, Like, balance. The only downside is being open 7 days a week and most holidays, so you always need to be available. With that being said, the better you coach, train and improve your team the less you need to be involved daily.
