Pros

Good culture, but some valid concerns Relaxed with little micro-managing Good and caring Team Leads

Cons

Extremely rude customers, some would define it as abusive!! Very Complicated BONUS STUCTURE!! The company makes it impossible for their representatives to Bonus. The Bonus structure is unfair and designed to benefit the company. They do not compensate their representatives who have to take on all the abusive callers, properly! All they want you to do is to push their required Customer Protection Plan because it generates them a lot of money. The headaches that come with the job don't justify the Weak pay. The callers have really affected my mental health and that is why I ended up leaving!! The employees have taken a major pay deduction. They force you to work weekends here. Calls are back to back due to being short handed. Turnover is Extremely High. They can't Hire fast enough and they are often understaffed. It's sad how the cycle constantly repeats itself!!

Pros

Extra Space Storage offers a generally positive working environment. The company's overall culture promotes inclusivity and values employee contributions. Compensation and benefits are competitive, aligning well with industry standards. There are ample opportunities for career growth and development within most departments in the company. The company’s mission and values are clear, and it strives to maintain a customer-focused approach.

Cons

The leadership in the Facilities department is notably rigid and controlling. This contrasts sharply with the company's broader culture. Facilities employees are not afforded the same perks or benefits as other home office employees, such as hybrid work schedules. Unless traveling to sites, Facilities staff are required to be physically present in the office. The leadership within this department rarely, if ever, offers praise or recognition for the team's hard work and accomplishments. Instead, the feedback tends to focus predominantly on what is being done wrong, creating a negative atmosphere. The morale within the Facilities team is low, with many employees actively seeking other opportunities, both within the company and externally.

Pros

Some really nice tenants at times that make your day a little brighter.

Cons

Mystery shops ridiculous. Meeting metrics and demands impossible. First raise was 8 cents. Poor pay. Tenants get angry, pee and poop all over property, mice, floods, cleaning all the time, trying to sell at the same time, getting yelled at if you do not perform 100% for a mystery shop, not getting enough time off, poor benefits, running to the bank 3x a week, always being alone in a HUGE facility and expected to sell, clean, run to the bank and take care of everything and get paid peanuts. Favoritism. Narcissistic business practices. Gaslighting management. Sex in the bathrooms, vandalism, people damaging the doors, the property, the bathroom and a lot of disrespect. Assistant managers get treated like third class citizens and do the same thing as the managers. No opportunity to move up, too many employees, too few upper positions.
