Pros

Career Growth: Ample opportunities to advance through professional development and mentoring/exposure programs. Supportive Environment: A professional yet comfortable atmosphere that truly values its people. Industry Leadership: A chance to work for a top-tier provider redefining the storage experience.

Cons

Truly no cons to speak of. This is one of the few companies that listens to the "boots on the ground". If there is something not working it is quickly addressed.

Pros

Outstanding company culture with supportive leadership and teams. Plenty of resources and guidance available to help you succeed. Strong commitment to employee growth and development. The company invests in its people and promotes from within. I started at the store level and advanced to a District Manager role, which demonstrates the opportunities available for career progression.

Cons

With so many talented and driven employees, advancement can be competitive. Success requires a strong work ethic, self-motivation, and a commitment to consistently performing at a high level.

Strong professional development but low pay

District team lead

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Large company with plenty of professional development opportunities, great stepping stone for a multitude of job fields (sales, leadership, business, learning and development), stellar reputation in the self storage field

Cons

Pay for most field positions is lower than similar jobs in other professional fields, know that working in a store requires a high degree of emotional intelligence as you will be dealing with folks going through bankruptcies, auctions, foreclosures, divorces, grief from the passing of a friend or family member, unemployment, and other hardships, moving up in the company often means having to relocate to a whole other state.
