Pros

Daytime hours, unless you are emergency contact, then it could be anything. Mostly autonomous.

Cons

So many. It has gone downhill to the point that after investing many years, I am looking elsewhere. You are expected to do the work of several people, expected to stay outside all day in dangerous heat and cold (unless you are privileged to work on all climate control). After working outside, sweating, getting filthy by cleaning human waste,cleaning gutters, coughing your lungs out while working in filth, trimming trees, and other ridiculous expectations, we are to present a clean, neat, professional appearance in office. Software is known to have major issues, but instead of fixing them, the reports for corporate are tweaked constantly. We are supposed to "wow" customers, but aren't given the authority to actually do anything if there is an issue. LOW, LOW, LOW pay, not enough to live on, while the jerk COO, CFO, CEO, etc get millions in bonus. Insurance plan they call protection plan is overpriced, yet we are penalized if customers prefer to use their own homeowners or renters. Seriously, this is a huge issue at some stores. Things do not get fixed. Cubesmart and owners of managed stores prefer to make cosmetic changes, rather than fixing huge issues, and of course, the employee at store is expected to deal with it and provide a positive experience to customers. No cameras? We are to lie about it. Gate not logging people? So what. Lie. One person working and a jerk leaves a ton of trash to clean up, including heavy old stuff? Get it done, you are supposed to be outside anyway. A customer complains no one ever is in office? Too bad. Clone yourself, because no help is coming. So much more, but it's depressing.

Pros

Some freedom. Do it yourself. Good pay if you can hustle them into it.

Cons

The turn over is crazy I had 5 bosses in 6 years and changed districts more than I can count. The bosses all have there own way of doing things but then lie and hide behind it’s not my way it’s cubesmart way. No help from corporate. The turn over for dms alone is a red flag. Backwords systems. Same meetings every week to waste your time. Will fight you on fixing property issues. Have to explain to multiple different managers. Have your good coworkers overworked while letting toxic people and environments thrive.
