Pros

It truly is hard to find something to rave about. However it was not always this way.

Cons

We have so much paperwork it is ridiculous. We have so many reports to roll up on a weekly and monthly basis. The content of these reports are things we normally should be doing or business numbers of which we should already be aware. Instead of the District Managers addressing lack in the areas ofthose reports with individual personnel, the middle managers have chose to inflict discipline on their entire group rather than those who are the offenders. This tendency has evolved into the overall style of management. Another thing I despise is the company Facility Operations Manual specifically says the customer has two options for insurance on their stored goods. Either Extra Space insurance (CPP) or their own (home owners/renters). The Ops Manual also says never lose a rental over insurance. However many employees have been disciplined and even terminated for not getting CPP insurance on over 94% of their rentals. This company pays great lip service to valuing their employees, however their actions show they do not. We are expected to do sales, collections, cleaning and maintenance of property and offices along with two pages of other tasks on a daily basis. We are highly underpaid and overworked

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.
