Pros
The help you get is amazing. From the training, to the teamwork.
Kontras
Never getting two days off in a row without PTO is not very fun. They do always say work/life balance but this does not reflect that. You end up getting burnt out quickly. Schedule is slow to come in so making necessary appointments is nearly impossible. After Merger, we are making in a YEAR with Extra Space (on average), what we were making what we made QUARTERLY with Life Storage. So the biggest advice I do have for ES, is a better bonus structure. Because we only bonus off of the amount of move ins. And that is out of our control to an extent. If 10 reviews a month are mandatory, make an incentive to get them. No bonus for merch sales anymore as well. Not enough paid time off. Another bad thing about the merger, we lost a lost of PTO. Personally I lost 60 hours because we only have very few paid holidays. We are open almost every day of the year which is also not Work/Life balance.
