Pros

Stepping stone. Independent work. On site housing. Goal Oriented. Simple work. Resume and contact building. An ideal place to learn the basics of the self storage industry.

Cons

The company has decreased real income to field employees for the last 5 years. The company culture is "WASTY" (We are smarter than you!) Employees are unable to take initiative to address customer needs and then reprimanded when customers complain. Facilities are not maintained because these expenditures are a part of the compensation plan for District and Regional Mgt. ergo the routine items that should be addressed are put off until they become major problems. There is no program for promotions or development from within.

The company continues to invest in its people, processes, and growth strategy, making it an excellent place for those who are looking to develop professionally while being part of a winning team. If you’re looking for a company with strong leadership, career advancement opportunities, and a clear vision for the future, Public Storage is a fantastic place to be.

Cons

Cons: As Public Storage continues to grow, the pace of the business can be very fast. There are often multiple initiatives, priorities, and opportunities happening simultaneously, which requires strong organizational skills and the ability to adapt quickly. Success in this environment depends on being able to effectively prioritize, manage competing demands, and stay focused on the highest-impact work. While the pace can be challenging at times, it also creates tremendous opportunities for growth, learning, and career development.
