Pros

The Pros are getting harder to come by. At this point, I would say it's down to decent pay and good health care benefits.

Cons

I'm afraid that if they find out someone thinks the health care benefits are good, they'll reduce them. No annual increase, not even for cost of living. But then again, I haven't even received an annual review, so what do I expect. So much potential to be a great place, but the company just doesn't want to put in the effort. They'd rather squeeze whatever they can out of people before they finally throw in the towel. This place is the very definition of Micro Management. They want sales professionals, and the results that go with them, but don't want to pay for sales professionals. If you really want to engage employees in the results, compensate them for the results. The culture is that of a bunch of "Yes Men." If you are a mindless employee, and can nod your head to whatever the direction is for that day, this is the place for you. No opportunity for advancement of property managers...how inspiring is that?! Finally, there is a terrible, terrible work/life balance. Worse though, is that upper management knows this, and openly acknowledges that to get the job done, you must be willing to work outside business hours.

Cons

Cons: As Public Storage continues to grow, the pace of the business can be very fast. There are often multiple initiatives, priorities, and opportunities happening simultaneously, which requires strong organizational skills and the ability to adapt quickly. Success in this environment depends on being able to effectively prioritize, manage competing demands, and stay focused on the highest-impact work. While the pace can be challenging at times, it also creates tremendous opportunities for growth, learning, and career development.
