Middle management is approachable, but benefits are lacking
Pros
Relatively approachable middle management. Leader in the industry with ambitious plans for shareholder success. Corporate relocation to North Texas means opportunities for employees in area.
Cons
TERRIBLE benefits for corporate employees by almost any measure: Three paid holidays, 60 days for your expensive health insurance to kick in, over a year before any 401k matching, mandatory office attendance with few exceptions, mediocre PTO. No other company in the S&P 500 or even in the self-storage industry is this cheap. Truly pathetic. The corporate relocation to Texas was a bad beat for California employees, and leadership never took real ownership for how badly the process was communicated and managed. Success is all about the stock price, which is bad news for the hourly employees and some of the salaried employees whose roles are being automated or outsourced as fast as possible.
