Pros

Love the leadership! Regional and Divisional leadership is engaged not only in my personal development but also with that of the property managers which is key in inspiring loyalty. Training for new DM's is an extensive 3 month process ensuring that you are set up for success once in role, loved my training mentor and my training made me confident in the transition to taking over my current district. Seems like there is a lot of energy put in to succession planning and promoting within!

Cons

You have your hands in a lot more aspects of the business than I have ever experienced in similar roles, however the 3 month training ensures you are comfortable with all of this before going live.

Pros

I have been with Public Storage for about six months - so far so good. Great training program, which is very important - this is a different industry, so there is a lot to learn. The hours of the properties help to promote a great work/home life balance. Public Storage is a very stable and growing company; which allows great opportunities for advancement. I have no doubt that I have made the right choice in joining the PS family!

Cons

I believe that this is already in the works, but some computers systems/programs need to be upgraded.

Pros

Their are not really many pros except if you get the health insurance, their health insurance is pretty good for the cost.

Cons

The hours are in the middle of the day, no flexibility as far as days off, they rarely give 40 hours a week. You are constantly dealing with pissy customer because they have either had a rent increase, late fees, or they were told it was only going to be $23 and then we have to sell them lock and insurance (which has gone up). The amount of responsibility and stress for the pay is not worth it. Plus they've been putting me at properties that are not even close to where I live, I can think of at least 5 properties that are closer to me than the one I'm working at now. My DM just got fired for being so much of a jerk to his employees and not listening, which is the norm for PS DMs. The pay and bonuses (which change and get less every year) are just completely not worth it. If you become a property manager (more responsibility) there is no pay raise. After 6 months there's a .50 pay raise and that's pretty much it. They do not hire up within, so no room for growth.
