Public Storage Employer Reviews

I've worked for the self storage business for years and still don't get bored with this line of work..Overall, a dynamic place to be a part of..

My boss and co workers are fantastic to be around, lots of team players. The hardest part of the job is maybe cleaning out unit in horrible weather. The most enjoyable part of my job would be my customers.

Customer service is key to everything, co workers are great. Customers are great

Management is constantly changing. No structure. Most co-workers are hard working. Hardest part of job is collecting rent and performing the auctions. Meet people from all walks of life, from broke to well off. Enjoyed being self managed for the most part.

As a relief manager your in charge of opening and closing the business. at the end of the day i felt good and needed.

I have really enjoyed working for public storage so far, I feel I do my job well because I am constantly being recognized by upper management. They really promote a team environment, and I can really appreciate that. The hours of operation cannot be beat, and scheduling is really flexible.

Maintaining the property, security, billing, and office management.

Management was great, but the company itself was not so good, lot's of work was required of the property manager, and you really were given 40 hours a week.

enjoyed working with the cusotmers, solving problems, bring solutions to help them, most of 90% of co-workers were the best mentors and helpful when I first started. hours were not bad. DId earn vacation time and I was off if I needed it.
Did not care for corp. attitute, not concerned for the employess.

Ok Place to work ....this company has strong values and rules and regulations they want you to follow.

Like U-store-It, Public Storage had the right idea. Great customer service skills, knowledge of what the customer needs was, but began focusing more on the companies pockets than the customers. I don't have much more to say about public storage other than it was a good starting point for me.

Public Storage takes advantage of their employees. There is so much turnover that they can't even property staff their facilities. Management will threaten your job in order for you to produce. Things change daily there, so what the company tells you one day may not be the same as the next. Also, management will tell you to break company policy, and – more... when you follow their directions, they will fire you for it. – less

scheduled pick-ups, set reservations, dispatch trucks on the road. worked as a well oiled machine because everyone shared in commission. hardest part collections
most enjoyable dealing with the public

the district managers work you hard so they can make their huge bonuses. employees also get bonuses but not on the scales as the DMs. I worked as the Property Manager for over 6 months at that location and my DM never gave me my raise, because that would have taken out of his budget, so he would have gotten lees of a monthly bonus.

great company to work for, management position, room for growth

Fun job had the change to hear lots of stories some sad and some good

Everything was great when I worked at Public Storage. The only thing I didn't like is calling customers for rent. I loved being a Property Manager and getting out on the property and cleaning it. I always had a nice looking property. I really miss it and wished I hadn't left.

Had to work outside a lot in all kinds of weather. Had to a lot delinquent call's. Lift 50 pound iced doors in winter and shovle a lot of snow.

This company is constantly changing and does not permit any weekends off unless you use your PTO time and then you are required to give a reason for using your own time. Out of 365 the company only observes Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day as holiday's. You are a general custodian as well as an office manager. The customer's are the best – more... part of the job. There are no advancements, it is a dead end job. The district manager and staff is constantly stirring up gossip and there is no such thing as confidentiality. You are allowed a 30 minute lunch daily. – less
