Pros

Good Pay the first year with guaranteed bonus

Cons

As a District Manager you are working 7 days a week with no work life balance (even on vacation), micromanaged to the point of not running your own area. The upper management believes that learning and memorizing scripts will bring in sales. There is no real training department. There is even a script for DM's to use when coaching employees. No advancement for Property managers and the bonus and pay is pathetic and there is no advancement opportunity so there is no incentive for them to improve. Leadership leads with hostile tactics. Lock cuts are not safe and when the injuries are reported, the details are pushed under the rug. Regional sets up employees for failure so he can look better. This job is stressful and not worth the money.

Cons

Cons: As Public Storage continues to grow, the pace of the business can be very fast. There are often multiple initiatives, priorities, and opportunities happening simultaneously, which requires strong organizational skills and the ability to adapt quickly. Success in this environment depends on being able to effectively prioritize, manage competing demands, and stay focused on the highest-impact work. While the pace can be challenging at times, it also creates tremendous opportunities for growth, learning, and career development.
