Public Storage Employer Reviews

A typical day of work includes all the daily operations and functions of the running the property including cleaning, customer service, tenant management, and managing delinquency. I learned a lot dealing with customer issues and tenant problems, this job has greatly increased my problem solving skills. Management is pretty poor, the company does not – more...  promote from within so there is a lot of friction between lower and upper management. My co workers defiantly made the job worth it every day we all were a great team riding the ups and downs together. – less

thats the word i would use for this job, no advancement, terrible management, no respect and so much drama in my district. i would recommend you try somewhere else or keep applying for something better.

wonderful company, great co workers,good job security great learning exp!

Great company as in flexibility with life but strenuous at times while working on simultaneous projects. No room for advancement whatsoever.. Most of the mid exec level were hired from the outside. Job security is always going to be an issue so i see no point in adding that next to advancement. They are 2 totally different things. Politics is challenging. – more...  Overall experience was beneficial both ways. – less

Overall the workplace was alright. You get to work by yourself but the manager at the time was not very good and did not do his job well. He would play favorites which was not right.

great job, good pay, nice staff , fun enviorement, respect from others

Open office. Verify money in safe and count petty cash. Make bank deposits. Call reservations to confirm appointments. Call delinquent tenants, do thorough lock checks, rent storage space to walk-in customers. Sell merchandise, clean property and units, work independently to manage the property. The hardest part of the job is being the only person on – more...  the job, especially during busy season. Also traveling to work at other properties. Most enjoyable part is working at your own pace, with no schedule restrictions. – less

i enjoyed working for them, however, in the last few months the managment has made the job difficult, all the property mangers are not happy and looking for other postions elsewhere. personally i think that they are not looking out for the employees welfare when it comes to benefits and salary, i an happy that they did hire me back at a time when i – more...  needed help , so that im grateful. – less

routine type job, handled customer's account, reporting balances, taking payments, reporting and solving problems.Management here were kind of a joke. their reviews were from outerspace, and disconnected. Managers changed like a revolving door. (later employees did too, this company has absolutely no respect for seniority) It was upsetting to see company – more...  fire regular employees on a regular basis. Company kept changing their tactics, had quite a few unhappy customers, along with unhappy workers, Company only seemed concerned with their bottomline/stockprices. All of my fellow employees except 1 were let go 6 months after I quit. No job stability whatsoever. Not a great job to make money at. you'll be working 6, sometimes 7 days a week, some months without any days off, and you still will not get paid overtime, company will not work you over 38 hrs a week. continuous calls coming in, absolutely no break in calls, one right after another ALL TIMES. Nature of business? all I remember is customers screaming about how badly Public Storage sucks, and they feel ripped off because they feel like it is unethical that PS changes their prices in the middle of a contract. (I agree with the customer, doesn't earn me any medals or brownie points!) I wa also refused a 12 cent raise my first year working there. I didn't stick around to be insulted the 2nd year. (lol) – less

Very supportive with Manager's needs and concerns.I would work for them anytime.

A typical day @ Public Storage would be renting storage units,and daily General office task.I learned that I enjoy working with the public
and I learned how to increase my sales potential.I enjoyed working with the District managers and my co-workers every day and being a part of a great team.The hardest part of the job was having to Auction off customers – more...  unit when they did not make their payments on their storage units.The most enjoyable part of the job was being able to assist and meet a variety of people . – less

In a normal day at work my crew and I would start the day by putting together our commitment of rentals for the day and calling all of our reservations for the day. As property manager I would be on a the morning confrence call and relaying the current business and our commitment for the day. The hardest part of the job is trying to get that commitment – more...  utilizing all the tools the company has provided us. The best part of the job was working together with my co-workers and hitting our commitment and then some. Working together to help each other close the rental and that feeling of knowing we did our best, was the most fun. – less

What I learned from the job was how to talk to the public on a dayli bases.The best part of the job was helping people with there – more...  containers got to meet lots of differnt people on a dayli bases. – less

Meeting different people, having to learn different scripts ever couple months, management is horrible, my co-workers are great, hardest part of the job is dealing with management. most enjoyable part is meeting different people and the hours

Public storage is a place to work if you have a big personality. you are able to work with limited supervision and a self starter.

Public Storage is a company that is surrounded by the customers. As a intern under my mother, I learned to balance the petty cash, take payments via cash, check and credit card. I also had hands on experience with customers. From renting spaces to making delinquent calls. Hardest part was not being able to provide an appropriate price for a customer. – more...  The most enjoyable was beating the quota due after every month. – less

District managers lead out of a book and know little of how each property actually functions. they have little knowledge of customer relations and are more interested in forcing employees to learn company scripts which are missleading and direct lies to customers.

PS has this business segment down to a science.
Its a great place to work.
