Pros

ZERO!!!! and I mean absolutely none whatsoever other than its a job.

Cons

Upper management is awful. Our DM once told a woman on a conference call he was going to plant his seed in her. And then followed it up moments later by telling her she should strap one on. To be a District manager all you need is a high school degree.....In actuality a DM in this company is the equivalent to an assistant manager at a convenience store with a pair of bolt cutters. I'd like to say something positive about the customer interaction. But honestly they are all liars and scum bags with a seldom encounter with a pleasant individual. Apologies for poor sentence structure or grammar, just buzzed this out to get access. This company should be avoided. Should have known when on my interview the manager asked me are you sure you want this job.

Pros

A way to get PM experience to move on wards if you can get out.

Cons

Old Shurgard properties have more issues than newer PS properties. Large facilities have security issues after hours. Lack of cameras make it virtually impossible to always find those responsible. No more monthly bonus- PTO paid out after many diligently saved hours.Either use it or loose it to annual payouts.. DM's far to pushy on requirement to sell with every rental vs employee trans reports & goal sheets. Some dist have 2 PS on same street making competition & occupancy all that much more difficult. DM's only stay a year.reviews from prev DM no matter how good are re-written with very new DM. Nothing you did in prev years reflects with current review.. High expectations- Vendors junk & hauls almost impossible to get approvals for abandon goods. Over weighted position vs pay for performance metrics. Inability to take phone payments & delinquent customers not coming in for EOM payments. Always loosing occupancy to Auctions! DM's don't care about employees just about numbers.
