Strong professional development but low pay - Recensione dipendente - District Team Lead presso Extra Space Storage

Outstanding company culture with supportive leadership and teams. Plenty of resources and guidance available to help you succeed. Strong commitment to employee growth and development. The company invests in its people and promotes from within. I started at the store level and advanced to a District Manager role, which demonstrates the opportunities available for career progression.

With so many talented and driven employees, advancement can be competitive. Success requires a strong work ethic, self-motivation, and a commitment to consistently performing at a high level.

Solid schedule - 40 hours per week, not expected to be there more than that. No one looking over your shoulder constantly (unless you have a new DM, they can't seem to help it) Mostly great people to work with Local, immediate management does care and are helpful.

Very large rate increases really upset customers and that's just too bad. We are given word to tell them but it just isn't true. Putting more money in stock holder's pockets is the bottom line and it doesn't matter how much anger we have to deal with. You are absolutely expected to sell insurance to every renter. However, you must be careful because you aren't "insurance salesmen". You get a ding when you don't sell it. We are encouraged to use evasive language and rush through it so the renter thinks it's required without quite saying so. You would think this large of a corporation would have handymen available but it is so, so difficult to get the smallest repair done due to getting bids from vendors, turning them in, reminding the person you turned them in to what needs done maybe getting approval, then scheduling. By that time lights (or whatever) have been out for a month or 2. Benefits are very expensive and cover so little.
