Pros

Solid company with great benefits—health, dental, vision, and enough PTO to recover from forklift-related emotional trauma. Training is thorough. I now know more about disc locks than any human should. You will become a master of small talk, gate code troubleshooting, and pretending not to panic when someone asks if they can store a python in their unit. Honestly decent coworkers who share your pain and your snacks. Corporate sends swag! Not Xboxes, but hey, a pen is a start.Solid company with great benefits—health, dental, vision, and enough PTO to recover from forklift-related emotional trauma. Training is thorough.

Cons

The job walks a fine line between storage management and unpaid reality show participant. No couches in the office. Zero. My glutes haven’t touched padding since onboarding. Company meetings are NOT held via Xbox Live. A tragedy for morale, productivity, and my kill/death ratio. Summer heat + non-climate-controlled units = slow-roasting like a human Hot Pocket. You will be asked to explain why someone can’t just “live” in their unit. Weekly.

Pros

Best job of my long career — company culture is second to none. Leadership truly cares about employees and sets us up for success. CEO Joe Margolis is an outstanding leader: kind, caring, fun, and brilliant. He makes the workplace enjoyable while pushing the company forward. Opportunities for growth, supportive management, and a strong team environment. Great work-life balance and a company that actually lives its values.

Cons

Honestly, very few. Like any company, there are challenges, but nothing that overshadows the positive culture and leadership.
