Pros

The compensation is good for the industry. However expect a 60-70 hour work week. Including all weekends and holidays. Do not expect any monetary rewards or comp time.

Cons

1. Unreasonable workloads. 2. Unreasonable time frames for completion of reports, surveys and analysis of reports. 3 Unreasonable travel requirements. 4. Employees have to pay for all travel expenses and wait weeks for reimbursment. 5. Unrealistic meal allowance when traveling ($40.00 a day max.) 6. No recognition for doing exemplary work and exceeding expectations. Only criticism if you miss something minor. 7. There is no comp time ever in this organization. 8. You must be able to carry thousands of dollars on your personal credit cards to work at this company -while waiting for reimbursments. 9. The turnover of employees at this company is huge. 10. DM's are so low valued that they pay a $5k bonus to anyone who recruites a friend that lasts 60 days. If you don't like someone- recommend them for this job. Even in this time of high unemployment. Just read between the lines. 11. Employees are paid on a base salary + Bonus -Beware - They fire huge groups of employees just prior to reaching the pay out date annually.

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.
