Pros

Most days you get to work alone Most days you get to work at your own pace You have a daily set of duties that don't normally change Your job consists of a lot of paperwork if you become a property manager, maybe you can get an apartment paid for (on site) by the company if one exists.

Cons

Customers are nasty people Employer does not care about your day to day circumstances If you don't sell boxes you can get written up if you don't sell insurance with the unit you can get written up if you don't sell locks with the unit you can get written up if you don't get google reviews by the customer you can get written up if you get neutral or worse for a review rating, you can get written up you get a half hour break for lunch, which must be taken at a certain time you are constantly getting chewed out by your boss for not being good enough, no matter how great you are at your job you can get in trouble for other people not doing their job property issues do not get fixed, employer just forces you to work around those issues. Company does not promote from within minus the title of "property manager" which does not come with a raise in pay, only more responsibility.

Business Outlook

Pros

All these unknown employees that work at corp. They all come from HR or at their behest. Just like FAKE Google reviews that are required for locations, that the DMs threaten managers with firing.

Cons

Poor pay, no bonuses (there's a chance for a small one). NO chance for advancement.
