Pros

Apartment, decent insurance, met some nice people.

Cons

I busted my hump for this company. 4 years of "Top Tier" numbers and in those 4 years a 60 cent wage increase. I was ranked in the top 100 managers in the country 3 of the 4 years. The 4th year I was screwed out of my bonus... Most of the DM's I worked for were ok, but ever one would throw you under the bus if need be. You get "stuck" in there apartment and they know this. You don't make enough money to save up and move out. I was fortunate enough to pursue other options. In the 4 months I've been with my new company I have already made more than I did in 12 months with PS. Also the DMs that PS hires usually have no background in storage, there usually from somewhere like Payless Shoes or Ultra Foods and they come in and tell someone with years more experience in self storage how to do there job...

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.
