Pros

Lunch and breaks whenever you want. Plenty of down time. You oversee entire office and property. Good district manager. Good job to start of your close to the job and not needing to pay rent.

Cons

Worried about getting held up at gunpoint depending on location. Short 30 minute lunch break. The person you work after may completely NOT do a single thing and make you look bad if a district manager or regional manager come in and blame you. Sales are forced. If you don't make your sales goal they will make you feel uneasy, lower than the others - even if you run places that make lower revenue. They have reduced our bonus to 0% unless you make them a lot of money. You're expected to force customers to buy insurance illegally. You'll have to pick up dead rats and birds, change lightbulbs, fix gates and doors and pay is nlt worth the work. On our conference calls they say we need to sell better but they disguise it as we are helping the customer. The upper management are wealthy and boast about their possessions and vacations while we all have cars that are running on empty and can hardly pay our rent.

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.
