Pros
I was able to learn much about how numbers and how ranking worked on a corporate level, something I will be able to use in all future jobs. I had much more customer interaction on this job then I did with prior employment, both in person and over the phone. I also liked that management wasn't constantly breathing over my shoulder at every second of the day and gave me a little freedom to make my own decisions with how I ran my property. If you are a self motivator then the job is good as you are often alone several times a week. Pay isn't great but you ca survive on it and the quaterly bonus can be pretty generous.
Cons
The medical benefits are great if you rarely get sick. There is no room to advance as Public Storage does not promote from within past being a Property Manager. Upper management respect for their workers fluccates based on the kind of numbers your store is pulling in and many of the tactics used for raising numbers are dishonest to the customer. There is little to no employee loyalty. It is also very hard as a property manager to take care of any facility problems (gate malfunctions, potholes, leaks) as Public Storage fights tooth and nail to not allot much of a quaterly budget in property maintence. Most problems that occure can take up to months to resolve. Being that we are on the higher end of the spectrum as far as pricing is concerned, you think we would at least be able to fix problems more efficantly. This is also the only job I have had that did not pay overtime for Sundays and holidays.
