Pros

Extra Space used to be a wonderful place to work. Very balanced. The company expected good work, but they also supported their people and did things the right way. That has mostly ended.

Kontras

As I mentioned, Extra Space has changed a lot as a workplace. They seem to be pushing sheer quantity of work in many departments. Metrics are all that matter, and they're usually metrics that track rate of work--not impact. I don't know if they're trying to imitate Amazon, but that is the kind of change they are making across the board--industrializing every facet of work so they can squeeze all the value they can out of their people. What they're losing in that is the passion and ownership that made their workforce great. Extra Space was a top performing company for years, but they seem to be slipping, and I think employees are beginning to look elsewhere. I see Extra Space having significant retention, engagement, and performance issues down the road. Communication between management and employees is really poor. They're changing a number of departments without explaining anything to people. "Anything" may sound like hyperbole. It's not. Extra Space used to have a wonderful feeling. People were part of a team and did good things together. It was great. Now it feels like an assembly line, where the quota is all that matters. It's a shame.

Pros

The position is easy to do and the tasks are simple. The work relationships with the store managers and my dtls are excellent. My District Manager is always available to make sure I'm doing my job and gives amazing advice on how to advance in the company with kpi updates.

Kontras

Deal with a lot of stress on the job. Have to work behind a person who may not have done the job they were supposed to do.

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.

Kontras

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.
