Public Storage reviews

Goals and expectations are very unrealistic. Corporate office is very disconnected from the field and have no idea what we do. Zero work/life balance and it gets worse the longer you are there. Regional Managers (your boss) do nothing except approve expense reports and have no purpose in the organization. The company has no idea what they want. Everything is pass/fail, with DMs set up for failure constantly. The audit process is the biggest farce I have ever seen that lacks credibility, relevance, and objectivity. The Property Managers are the most incompetant people with no skill-set, however the company expects results you would see from college graduates.

Pay isn't much. You aren't bonus eligible for six months. The company will change policies very fast and don't give the field adequate time to react. Often, they change things not just in theory but will even have time to get programers to change the system before they give their people a head's up about what's going on. Most properties do not have a location for you to eat lunch. You work alone most of the time. It doesn't feel very safe. There's no room for growth. You start as a PM and when you leave you'll be a PM. You will not be promoted any higher than that. It's all about the bottom line from the corporate side of things. What are you numbers? The "We Care" slogan applies more to the lower levels of the company, but they aren't given any power to do anything. There's a lot of turn over for property/relief managers. For DMs: Your PMs work 7 days a week. they need you 7 days a week. Tenants don't typically get to your level unless they are complaining. You will be dealing with the problems and the crazies.... Sorry, that's just how it is.
