Pros

Since day one I have seen the outstanding happy culture this company offers. When a person is working hard on their career it can be hard to balance out life, and family. I have found that this company allows you to balance out your career and life much easier than any other companies I have worked for. The culture around here is great because people are willing to help everyone succeed no matter what position they are in; we all work hard together as a team. It is very important that everyone has a passion for what they do and works professionally, but it is also just as important that everyone is happy everyday. I absolutely love the company and department activities we do. This makes us all work harder and feel more like a huge family rather than just a big corporation.

Cons

The only cons I can think of is this company does not offer any sort of tuition reimbursement. I believe this could help keep more employees work harder at furthering their career with Extra Space. I also believe they should have some sort of a system to help employees move up in positions so everyone is always working hard at that goal, and knows there is actually an end in sight to finally be promoted. This way employees are not just working for years waiting for a position to become available. I believe too many employees move on because promotions do not happen quick enough for some of them or they find better paying careers.

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.
