Pros

Good pay and commissions if you are a top sales agent. They try to make fun work environment by playing music and games between calls. Most people working there are nice.

Cons

Very stressful work environment. You receive sales updates on every hours. They send you home for part of the day if you are not performing up to their standard. They treat you great if you are top performer, but badly if you don't meet their very high expectations. Very high turnover. Have to work weekends. Benefits are not good.

Pros

The company is successful, so Job security is mostly guaranteed, plus, they have a hard time hiring so you dont have to worry about getting replaced. The corp office is very nice and my cube has a window overlooking the salt lake valley.

Cons

IT is not respected in this company at all. It is hard to get over feeling like a second class citizen in this environment. The technology is antiquated and difficult to support. The management style of the executives is fear and insult based and most people are scared for their jobs or contemplating quitting because they get tired of the insults.

Pros

Work remotely (and the ability to swap your assigned shift if you can find someone willing to). Most of the people I work with are cool. I get time off the phone for a few hours a week for Self-development or to meet with peers and management on camera. I stay connected and interact with everyone all day via TEAMS.

Cons

Compensation is way too low! Extra Space is a multi-billion dollar company that averages thousands per rental, yet you'll only see a few dollars of commission for that if you perform at the "floor average." The attendance policy is very strict and the little PTO you have is often denied when you try to schedule it. Our pay is affected by things out of our control, such as Solicitors, Robots, and SERVICE calls that come through to our sales lines. Management tries to tell us that "it all evens out because everyone else on the sales floor gets service calls too." Okay, but there's also a reason why Service reps get paid a higher hourly rate to take Service calls, so we should also be paid accordingly for those, and not get docked AT ALL for other non-sales calls (which automatically count against our sales numbers/ commission).
