Pros

Steady 40 hours a week, paid time off

Cons

They don't promote from within unless you are a white male. Shareholders matter more than employees amd executives try to sell you on a culture that does not exist. They often say one thing and do another. Upper management won't take claims of harassment or discrimination seriously when reported.

Pros

The good points of working for Extra Space these five years is the help and growth management allows me. I enjoy working for Extra Space Storage and i come everyday wit a positive mindset to achieve our company goals.

Cons

Extra Space has trained me to listen and show empathy to our tenants. I do my best to give our tenants great customer service and advice.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
