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

"Be aware of the circumstances. Public Storage has a way of talking themselves up and making it seem like a great company to work for, but it's not."

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

"Public Storage breathes down your neck and has unrealistic expectations. They want you to sell an $18 lock to 100% of new tenants, and sell insurance to 85% of new tenants. If your numbers dip below those goals, watch your back. They will be watching you. They tell you that you're doing an amazing job and then give you a 10-25 cent raise. It's insulting. I have never felt so unappreciated at a job. This is a terrible corporation to work for."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Stop focusing on pushy sales techniques and memorizing scripts, and start focusing on developing personal relationships with the tenants and employees. Give the employees benefits that aren't terrible. Stop changing the compensation plan every few months, making it harder and harder to earn bonuses."

"You will be promoted without pay and discriminated against they'll talk about your sexuality behind your back you will be fired for mental illness and they will not support you or your family if they are in the military they don't care there's no diversity in this company you're either an illegal or you'll be fired because 90% are illegals. Your district manager does not support you she would much rather support the employees who are on drugs and aliens the company will hire you on drugs and will allow you to use the equipment and run into walls on drugs and you will keep your job if your drug addict like sexual harassment and be talked about public storage is the place for you. And let's not talk about they don't care about mental illness and they never will it's a money hungry industry and all they want is money money money money that's it money and you will be broken into because it's an inside job there's not one location that hasn't been broken into not one multiple times"

What do you like about working at Public Storage?

"Competitive pay and good benefits. Worked at multiple locations. Camaraderie with other district managers was great."

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."
