Stay away low pay and high turn over - Recensione dipendente - Store Manager presso Extra Space Storage

"Working at Extra Space Storage has been a highly positive experience overall. The company culture genuinely prioritizes work-life balance, providing predictable schedules and stable hours that are hard to find in retail environments. The benefits package is excellent, featuring a great 401(k) match, reliable health insurance, and helpful performance bonuses. Managers generally offer a lot of autonomy.

The only downside is that career advancement and regular merit raises can feel a bit limited, often depending heavily on your specific district manager and region. If you value independence, steady hours, and strong corporate support, it is a fantastic place to build a career."

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.
