Pros

- The office dog - I truly enjoyed my job & working with my clients

Cons

When it comes down to it, the cons all centralize around the owners. The company is ran by 3 young guys with absolutely no people or management skills. They will make decisions on a whim & expect everyone to follow blindly. Anybody who questions them is looked down upon & will literally be bullied by grown men (or fired). Their egos bruise very easily and they do not know how to separate their pride from their business. They’ve created a toxic micromanaged work environment with a very selective attendance policy (aka if they don’t like you, you better not show up 1 minute late). They will always expect you to work overtime and if you don’t, you’re not a team player. They have high ideals for themselves and what they think their culture is, but their culture is purely toxic. This company is ran by 3 white males & that is 99% of who they hire. There is NO diversity. The gender discrimination that I had to deal with from the owners, was beyond anything I have ever experienced. I was called “blunt” & “aggressive” on a regular basis by the owners. I watched women get written up for no reason & fired soon after, all because the owners didn’t like them. Women cannot and will not advance their careers here. They will gaslight you and convince you that you are the problem, when in reality, they were the most toxic people I have ever worked for. The turnover rate is extreme and there is simply no job security. You could walk in one day & be fired randomly. I watched several of my former coworkers experience this & it was absolutely devastating to watch. They treat their employees as if they are disposable with no regards to the real lives they have negatively impacted. And although I quit, over half of the employees that were there on my first day (around 20 ish), were fired within my short 10 months at storagepug. If they don’t like you, they will fire you without any reasonable explanation. Every time there is a negative review on Glassdoor, the owners will try to add 5 star reviews to bump up the average. If you look, there are several reviews from the same day. No one has EVER left storagepug and had ANYTHING positive to say. You do the math.

Dear former Pug, I'd like to thank you for taking my call. You had no obligation to talk to me, but you did anyway. Thank you for doing that. Our conversation has helped me process the comments you left here on Glassdoor. I'm glad you enjoyed working with Betty and the interactions with our clients. We were quite happy with your job performance and celebrated your "get stuff done" mentality with a 40% salary increase within your first 10 months. Your mischaracterization that StoragePug is run by "3 white males" really surprised me. As a first-generation Vietnamese immigrant, I'm proud to be a part of the diversity here at StoragePug. We're lucky to have a strong team of Pugs from all experiences, backgrounds, and cultures. I encourage you to look back at your former teammates and reconsider your comment that 99% of them were "white males." While things didn't work out here at StoragePug, I'm confident you're doing well in your new endeavors. You have an open invitation to continue our phone call anytime. My line is 865-413-4050.

Not a con for everyone, but I just wasn't built for in-office work. If you are- this is a great spot.

Pros

Coming from a global corporation to a startup was a bit daunting at first, but StoragePug has an amazing support team and I immediately felt welcomed and valued. I thought 'great culture' was code other companies used to cover up their downfalls, but not here. It's real and it's great. I've never been around as many genuine, caring, intelligent (mentally and emotionally) people who really do share the goal of helping this place succeed. We work 7 hours days and I almost feel guilty for taking my laptop home. Work life balance is the expectation, not just a catchy phrase.

Cons

After 6 months, I haven't been able to find any yet.
