"You are called a Property Manager HUH? Minimum pay compared to Mc donald Fry person make $2 more. You are not managing the property you are Cleaning the Old and nastiest building that is infested with rats or snakes. Breathing is very hard in this place due to bad Odors. Not even water is provided for workers. Also you will never have a set schedule rather will be working in random properties every week. Too much dust as you are walking miles and miles daily to clean the property.Working alone is another thing. 30 minute unpaid break you can't even make it to any restaurant. BY FAR THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER WORKED FOR. Will not even recommend my enemies to work there"

"Great career growth potential."

"I've worked for Public Storage since 2017. I have learned a tremendous amount about the storage industry, but have found the leadership does not care about their employees or customers. The company has over 2,200 locations world wide and is the leader in the storage industry."

"Overall good company that is ambitious in growth."

"New supervisor came in and ruined the job"

"I have worked for public storage for three years as a resident property manager. This company gave me experience, and experiences I never thought I'd get. It's a hurdle for many people in training because they throw you out in the field at properties you have never seen even before training is finished. as the KTP this is a very poor way for DMs to treat my trainees. Violence or harassment from customers is also a frequent problem working alone at properties. I have personally called police on many occasions. Security is lacking to protect employees leaving work at night. Particularly females. Feeling unsafe is a primary reason for an employment change."

"I am not sure exactly what I am supposed to write here but I will say that I worked for Public Storage for 2 years, It is a good company and would recommend others to apply."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Ask questions about advancement and turnover, as well as the number of hours you will work per day (including at home in the evenings). It probably won't be a long term employment solution if you are someone who likes to advance and excel within an organization. If you are someone who can be micromanaged and have no desire to climb the corporate ladder, then the company may be a good fit for you."

What don't you like about working at Public Storage?

"Most property managers are managed by employees who are only there to collect a paycheck. The low wages paid restricts the quality of people who apply for property manager positions. There is also a high level of turnover at the district manager level. The company turned over almost 90 of the 204 district managers in 2011. There are also several tedious, yet very time consuming duties that district managers must perform daily. These tasks could easily be reassigned or reduced, and consume several hours each week that should be devoted to training and developing property managers. The company also hesitates to spend money on improving facilities when needed, including things like fixing lights in storage units or dealing with pest infestations. Lastly, the company has property managers pushing renters insurance policies on every customer in a way that is borderline illegal. Some of the things property managers say can only be talked about or recommended by licensed insurance agents."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"I would pay property managers a higher salary, as they are expected to handle more duties than other professions paying the same wage. The higher wage would also benefit the company by increasing the quality of the hiring pool of property managers . I would also, reassign some of the more tedious tasks away from the district managers in order to allow for more time developing and coaching subordinates."
