I enjoy my time at U-Haul, learning new tasks, gaining more knowledge. brake jobs are done daily, also new repairs are frequently learnt. co-workers are independant but also willing to help if needed.

here I spent 4 years in witch time I went from just being a mechanic to relocating and running a shop. I was in charge of all aspects in a garage and over seeing 3 other emploies

a typical day at work manting tracks
what i learned is how to drive 26 foot track will and installing hitches in personal car
your co-workers good working has a team
the hardest part of the job working out side rein or snow
the most enjoyable part of the job is driving the tracks

my typical day at Uhaul consisted of assisting customers, answer phones, placing orders, inspect trucks, organizing\stocking merchandise, keeping a cleaning and workable environment. My manager was a great supervisor, she was caring and very clear\direct on what she expected of her employee's. hardest part of my job was completing bookings with customers – more... due to the slow computers and impatient customers.Most enjoyable part was working along side my coworkers, we worked well together and helped eachother making it a fun and easy work environment. – less

A lot of the management were shady, negligent, or perpetually rude to their customer support staff... unless they were pretty and had a good figure. Management is mostly male. Females get no advancement at all. Half the people that do advance wind up demoting themselves because there's too much pressure or those higher up than that have some fantastical – more... idea of how much one person can do in a day. Customers are abusive to the staff. The job, itself, has a negative stigma which makes the job far more difficult. – less

A typical day starts with checking in trucks and trailers, and checking for damage and logging information. Parking trucks and organizing yard.
After moving so many trucks every day in a small enclosed parking lot I found my driving skills improved a lot.
Everyone was very easy going and fun to work with.
Meeting and helping customers durring stressful – more... times (ie. moving day) was very rewarding. – less

I learned a lot about customer service and customers needs. great co-workers

Good co. to work for, they just need to choose upper management better.

The problem with this company is lack of good management.The rate of pay is way to low for how many hour they had us manager work.

Every aspect of the work environment is excellent.Management and co-workers work together in a professional manner. All workers work together to accomplish our objective. The harderst part of the job is Houston traffic. Working with co workers is the best part of the job.

As of this review I have been working for U-Haul for about 9 months. I was hired as a part time (30 hours) "housekeeper" which meant cleaning and otherwise maintaining storage units and grounds. After a couple months they began having me work in the office doing truck receiving/dispatching, answering phone, making reservations and so on. Working in – more... the office is not my cup of tea, but that's not their problem and it is probably a better way to advance than doing maintenance.

I imagine much of your experience will depend on coworkers/management; at my location the manager is generally well qualified and my other coworkers as well as the regional manager are pleasant and accommodating. The company is well structured with easy to use and understand websites for its employees and customers, nice benefits (car discounts at certain dealers, medical, cell phone discount, etc.) even for part timers and for most positions, flexible hours- (within reason.) No paid jury time for PT workers though.. ouch. lol

Once you are hired at a center you may eventually be asked to do truck transfers or other small company 'missions' which can be a pleasant diversion from the normal day to day stuff. The finer points of running the office take some time to learn (closing/opening, cash drawer, receiving/dispatching, storage rentals, etc) but most of it is reasonably intuitive. – less

There are a ton of really good people who work at U-Haul. Lot of opportunity to learn new skills if you are willing to step out of your box a little

help customers with truck check out and cheek in, clean trucks and restock show room. pump propane

Productive work enviorment. People were great to be around. Very structured.

Due to the fact that I am the assistant manager i Work long days and love it. I love working with the customers and figuring out how to resolve issues. My co-workers are a blast we all work together to get the work done, we engage in team building and camaraderie . The hardest part of my job is probably the fact that our over time is limited and we – more... do not have much room to grow. – less

Much of the job involved monotony, but there was some enjoyment when it came to the hitch bay. I learned a bit about vehicular wiring and diagnosis of the same. The manager was fantastic, as were coworkers, but the typical shift allowed only one coworker who stayed at the desk.
One difficulty of this job was that every day was the same thing with a – more... different face, explaining a very simple process to adults and always the same questions, the same complaints. Another being no possibility of advancement within a position. After a year and a half I got a fifty cent hourly raise, the same as everyone else. The newest coworker at my departure and I had the same wages.
The most enjoyable was being able to work on wiring, even though it was the same process as ever, at least it wasn't the same vehicle. – less
