Pros

I joined Extra Space with almost 15 years of experience and after working for two other storage employers. I have found my peers in the District to be very welcoming and always ready to answer a question when needed. The District Team Lead was very thorough and patient throughout my training and is a great resource.

Cons

The option to schedule me at a different location or to alter my requested days off to accommodate others without my consent.

Great place to work!

Pros

This is one of the best companies that fully recognizes their employees and wants the best for them. From having over a dozen of coworkers that you can reach at any moment to being encouraged to be a better version of you via the Health Advocate website that they promote. A great blend of using technology in the office and putting some elbow grease into the property itself, learning to relationships with both customers and vendors, having a set schedule of open-close (when full time, and in most cases) so there is no working late into the evening, all around a great place to work!

Cons

At times (depending on the property you are working at) you will have to work by yourself. It can be incredibly difficult to get everything done in a timely manner when you first start. You have to have a backbone when working here, There is customers that will try and use your empathy against you to get their way, and in some cases will flat out scream in your face.

Misleading Reviews.

Pros

Decent work hours. Some okay people.

Cons

HR routinely checks Glassdoor and has reviews removed that are negative. In October there were 3 reviews from former employees that vanished without a trace. Management will offer rewards to employees who leave good reviews. (Expect this to be removed in a few days, grab a screenshot and wait for the change) Expect to be asked to do things that are borderline illegal or outright illegal. The pay is far below average. No real advancement in certain departments. HR ignores claims of harassment and has fired people for complaining about bullying. Don't expect training for new products and systems. Also expect unpaid overtime regularly. 12 hour days are pretty normal if you are salary and if you push to work your normal shift you will be punished. When requesting time off expect to be told that you shouldn't take more than a day or two. Remember if you are not a manager at the Store Support Center (corporate office) you are going to be treated like garbage.
