Vantaggi

Svantaggi
The job title of District Manager is just a fancy word for "baby-sitting" low-minded employees. Public Storage is NOT open to creativity or new ideas. Upper mgmt is quick to say: "it's not how we do it at Public Storage". Promotion is not based on your performance but whether or not upper mgmt likes you. Granted this company is a billion $ industry, however front-end employees are treated more like "slaves" rather than "assets". Whenever I met with my Senior District Manager or Regional VP, I had to discuss the ranking of front-end employees that I wanted to terminate. Imagine dealing with employees that are always in defensive mode and see you as an enemy when you try to coach them. I take pride in developing employees rather than getting rid of them the moment they face a challenge.
