Public Storage reviews

I never thought I would work for a Storage Company. I came from a fast pace and high stress environment that was not supportive and I used to work almost 60 hours a week.Public Storage is a great company to work for. There is a nice work/life balance here. I've heard from my supervisors at many levels to not spend so much time working after hours, which I chose to do. They only hire District Managers from outside with previous experience. The employees and management here are great. There are many oppurtunity to move up after the District Manager level. The workload is manageable. I enjoy having my own team and creating a positive and friendly sales culture. It is great to see how your leadership and coaching can affact behavior and change. If you want to develop your leadership and management skills and build a career with management, this is a great company to work for. They are evolving their sales culture and continue to be the industry leader and I am proud to be part of it!

In my experience at PS - the financial payouts are fantastic but that's based on a forced ranking. This allows competitive, solid performers to make very high incomes, average performers to make competitive incomes and poor performers find themselves with lower incomes. The compensation plan we use is the fairest I have ever experienced as an employee and personally - I love it. I have always been impressed how seriously PS takes the hiring process. We're very particular about who we hire; we are looking for future leaders and the potential for upward mobility is fantastic for employees that understand how to build high performance teams. A core expectation within the company is to develop people, create a positive working environment and to treat others with respect. I will never forget hearing my former Divisional Vice President talking to another DM while I was a DM trainee about the fundamental importance of building people up and not cutting them down when coaching their performance or behaviors. That always stuck with me and I just knew at that moment that I would love this company. 4 years later ....
