Public Storage Reviews

Pros

Locations, pay , management,benefits, flexibility

Cons

Hours, paper work, rude customers

Pros

What can I say every company has its Pros and Cons. I love that Public Storage gives me an apartment after showing them I work hard and I am reliable. However, prices increase so does gas, food etc ....... In Miami the cost of Living is out of control. Insurance, Taking breaks, understanding, PTO, Sick leave, 401k.

Cons

They can change the rules at any given time and fire you at will. I started here making commission and great incentives but I am not sure why it was all taken away. 😢. I feel that it has gone down more work and less money and I have been dedicated for 12 years. I love the managers, but all and all I feel like commission should be given again or more pay in 12 years I averaged .30 cents a year raise? What do you think? Fair or unfair with rising Cost but my apartment is free. Unsure?

Pros

No micromanaging, you run a store usually by yourself.

Cons

There are no promotions within the company at this level. There are no bonuses or pay increases. When policies change there are no heads up, or training issued. so the level of accurate knowledge throughout the district differs for everyone. Corporate will send out emails about things in the company but not let the offices know, so when they decide to do renovations on the property and email the tenants to let them know they have less than 30 days to move their stuff, the customers will come into the office asking the question, you won't have any answers because you don't even know what they are referring to. Your DM also won't have answers for you either.

Pros

Living on site saved gas, wear & tear on car and commute time. Did not have the upper mgmt breathing down your back. Enjoyable 50/50 mix of working indoors and outdoors..

Cons

Upper management seemed to have a bias against workers who were 50+. That was a shame because this age group worked harder, more reliable and had better customer skills then the 20-21 year olds my DM would only hire. They were on their cell phones all day, call out on a regular basis and were lazy.

Pros

Sick day and paid time off

Cons

Run Away Forced to clean up rat poop, toxic materials and get threatened if u question your safety Pay is minimum wage Management plays favorites Company only cares about salary management only Took company six months fix the front door, someone had to get hurt first

Pros

Good benefits and starting pay with ability to earn more in salary and move up in position. Consistent work schedule 9-5.

Cons

There can be customers with delinquent unpaid dues that you will have to go to lengths to reach sending delinquent emails delinquent calls frequently when prompt. In order to work here you have to maintain control and professionalism with frustrated customers at all times. The process of staging a unit either abandon or vacated can have piles of trash or heavy abandon goods that will require your attention. Multiple runs from office to units to dumpsters to utility rooms are needed. Heavy lifting and removal of contents in units. Proper safety gear worn to avoid breathing in dust other harmful matter. Gloves to avoid toxins and chemical reactions are worn while staging as well as safety glasses to avoid contact with debris.

Pros

Being alone, not having to come in early

Cons

Push for Google reviews is ridiculous

Pros

Being able to work from home

Cons

They do not tell you about the weeeks of mandatory over time until you have been through training

Pros

Got good benefits of the company

Cons

The pay is Terri fkjeuik3

Pros

Decent pay. Sometimes it is so dead you can read or catch up on shows. Working alone. My District Manager was respectful, helpful, and understanding. Work-life balance. The hours are good, and you are able to request time off and earn decent PTO.

Cons

In general, you are running an entire property and managing the accounts of potentially hundreds of tenants. As a relief, you rotate around your district and some properties are really gross and terrible. Rowdy homeless people, dead cats, prostitutes, and overall crazy tenants are just some of the things you will be dealing with. Also, you are basically holding people's stuff ransom and tenants get crazy, like threatening and screaming crazy. You also auction peoples stuff. That is just the people side. On the property side, if the property is old be ready to fix broken things often, deal with rats, deal with break ins (which happen constantly), and deal with stuff not working. It is fine if you are mentally tough and physically capable. Otherwise, its a ridiculous job.
