Pros

No political drama. Decisions are made using data and logic versus emotion. Employee retention is a pleasant surprise. People love working here and very few leave. The security of a successful company. Easy access to management. Anyone can talk to anyone else. Managers are empowered. Leadership trusts you to do your job. Investments in technology to upgrade systems enable new capabilities makes Public Storage an exciting place to work for everyone.

Cons

Some benefits are not as generous as other large companies but the policies encourage personal responsibility which is a very good thing. There are only a few corporate holidays but the holidays align with when the storage facilities are also closed which is fair and supportive of the people who interact with customers every day. This is unlike many large retail type businesses where corporate gets time off but the store employees have to work.

I've worked at Public Storage for many years now, I like it here, people are nice and I like my job. Sure, I'd recommend this workplace to a friend. I will continue to work here as long as my boss will have me.

Cons

I just wish the vacation hours and holiday hours are the same as before, sick and vacation hours keep getting smaller and smaller.
