Not good for family
Storage Consultant (Former Employee), Vaires-CO – August 6, 2012
Pros: alone most of the time, no one standing over you all day
Cons: too many responsibilities, too little pay for what your required to do.
working day in day out, cleaning whole facility and units, driving your own vehicle for errands, normally working alone, opening and closing facility makes it hard if you have a family emergency with children.

Good job with lots of multi tasking
RESIDENT MANAGER (Former Employee), Germantown, MD – July 27, 2012
Pros: free apartment
Cons: extremely involved in the company on and off site
Renting storage units daily.
I learned how to run & manage a multi million dollar company.
Being a manager has opened the door to bigger & better opportunities.
Co-Workers were friendly and helpful.
The hardest part was finding a reason to stay with no advancement possibilities.
The most fun part was the free apartment & working without a lot of supervision.

Responsible workplace
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Philadelphia, PA – July 5, 2012
Pros: travel
Cons: management
A day at work was filing paperwork, making calls, customer service, renting storage and retail sales. I learned that all companies required there traiinng for there own computer system. Management was a lil difficult to deal with because they didnt give me the proper training up front. My co-workers and i tried our best to work as a team as time went – more... by. the hardest and enjoyable part of my job was getting the customers to rent storage from the company and why were we any better from another company – less

Nothing but good thing to say
Property Manager (Former Employee), San Diego, CA – July 3, 2012
Pros: managers live on site rent free, you run the site as your own business
Cons: policies are not constant, upper manager are distinct and don't come around as much as they should
Sundays the office is closed, you are required to fill any gapes that may have been left unattended after your work hours. Medical Insurance plan is not good at all. You deal with a lot of great people most of all employes are great to work with (not all). Unless you are making mistakes the District managers really doesn't show up. You have the ability – more... to do your own marketing and schedule. You do all of the cleaning and most of the maintenance repairs your self.

But the best part is that you really get the opportunity to show owner ship the the site or facility that you are at. And show pride in your work – less

I enjoyed my job with Extra Space. The only down fall was that I worked in a busy office and only had a part time assistant.

company sucks to work for
customer service (Former Employee), South Jordan, UT – June 10, 2012
Pros: nothing
Cons: worst place to work at benefits are horrible not everyone is treated the same.
They do not train you enough 1 week for customer service not enough. No help to help customers. Treated horribly because department was small. No true organization . Head people at call center have no clue how to run a call center.

Great and fun place to work
Store Manager (Former Employee), Colorado Springs, CO – May 30, 2012
Extra Space was a fun job and a great company that cares about their employees. I learned management skills, found some abilities in myself I was not aware of. Most of my co-workers were great. This job was perfect for me as someone with ADHD. The job duties are variable and you meet a lot of people.

Terrible place to work!
Assistant Manager (Former Employee), Kent, OH – May 14, 2012
Pros: good pay
Cons: everything else!
This place is a joke to work for. Management treats employees terribly, and expect far too much for a 40 hr work week. Expected to keep 500 units clean, maintained and maintenance free,along with property weed free where there is insufficient means to do so. Job threatened constantly. Mgmt too busy being important in their own mind to help with any – more... problems. Not aloud half an hour of overtime in a 2 week work week, even if customers come in at last minute. Worst job I ever had! – less

Great place to work, awesome training program, very well structured
District Manager (Former Employee), Detroit, MI – April 18, 2012
Pros: car, gas card, stock options, pcard, personal office, and huge corporate support
Cons: working in a remote area, majority of meetings were by conference call, no peers close by to collaborate with.
Extra Space really cares about their employees and works hard to stay at the top of their game. They have an AWESOME training program for all levels of employees, work very hard to promote from within, and stay on top of all the latest technology and advances. The people were awesome to work with at all levels, and management always tried to "do the – more... right thing". I would recommend this company to work for with flying colors! – less
