      A soul crushing corporate environment - DON'T TAKE THE JOB.

      Pros

      If you are C-list executive or major shareholder, this company works for you.

      Cons

      Everything. If you like working in a draconian, institutional, dreary corporate office, this is the place for you. The irrational CEO rules by intimidation and fear and creates policy to "keep the masses down", while creating inflated stock prices to boost bonuses for the very few. Anyone who can leave will or those who have hung on from the glory days before the CEO took over and are waiting for retirement to cash their stock (no longer offered to employees). No investment is made in the infrastructure so employees work with deficient systems in a high stress environment. Avoid the real estate department at all costs. Toxic.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Hours are from 9:30-6pm m-f, 9:30-5pm on weekends so that could be a benefit depending on your personal preference. Most managers, under the district manager are all generally nice from my experience. Apartments are available to employees that need a place to stay. Will have to take a pay cut.

      Cons

      The management style. Upper management sucks-- all the way to the CEO. They constantly change policies and scripts used to rent units to customers You feel pressured into forcing customer to buy overpriced merchandise. And then you are "called out" by management when a customer doesn't purchase anything from you. Inconsistency within the company. For example, The call center will tell the customer it is $23 to rent a space and that is all the customer will need, then the customer will come in with only $23 and we are expected to sell the customer an overpriced lock and then insurance and then sell merchandise to them,.Which makes no sense. No growth. The highest position a relief/property manager can go is KTP, which is a management trainer and they only get paid $1 extra to do that task, So a relief manager can not move up and become a district manager. You would have to quit and then get rehired as a District manager. Finally, the bonus. The bonus plan changes every year and they add more and more variables to make it difficult for managers to get a bonus.
