Pros

There is an open line of communication between management and employees. This is a stable organization that will provide you with long-term career stability. The compensation plan is very competitive within the retail industry. The management team operates with a high level of integrity and personal accountability. They value family time and a good work life balance.

Cons

In order to maintain the competitive edge and company growth, hard work is required. Some may view this as taking away from personal life. If you struggle with time mgmt., and/or personal accountability, then this may not be the company for you. The company hires only "A" players

Pros

Long term stability and a positive working environment. A senior leadership team that has grown revenue while developing a dynamic business model that is extremely responsive to its customer base. Great people, I am a long term employee and have enjoyed the worth ethic and passion of my work colleagues across the whole organization. This is a company with world class operational processes and high standards, it has a culture that is willing to explore and generate new ideas within the industry while remaining laser-focused on the key drivers of the business every day. You need to bring your ‘A’ game but it is truly worth it.

Cons

There are no real cons in truth. It is a high performing environment so commitment is big but it’s been very positive in my experience.

Pros

First of all, Public Storage is a very solid company that is well run and in great financial shape. So, you don't have to worry about layoffs and accross the board cost cuts. The management is very smart and knows how to run a company smoothly. It is not a disfunctional company at all. Beyond that, the people here are very nice and treat each other very good. I have been here 25+ years and am very lucky to have found this company. We stay busy, but we I don't work any overtime for the most part. So, we can all live with that. Work at Public Storage if you want to be part of an S&P 500 company that feels kinda like a neighborhood real estate company. Good atmosphere.

Cons

I really don't have any. Maybe a little more contribution to our 401K would be nice.
