It a good company with minimum work related stress but job is boring. There is same repeated job tasks every month. Winter is somewhat enjoyable as company try to engage employees with different holiday tasks.

Too many tasks for a very low salary.

The relief manager position involves a lot of tasks from chasing down customers who have not paid rent by collection calls to unclogging toilets. The salary is the same as in any retail but with many more responsibilities.

Pros

District managers are very friendly and treat you like a human being.

Cons

The salary is very low and the schedules are not fixed

Fun workplace

Probably the easiest workplace I've ever been in. The culture is great, headed by a fantastic District Manager. The work is manageable, but the pay isn't enough where one might have to work another job to live a little.

Pros

The workload is pretty manageable, and there are lean months when things slow down significantly.

Cons

Low pay

Meh

Depending on which location you work at, the customer service can be trying. The tenants have a lot of specific needs or unique situations, which public storage cannot accommodate. So you must say ‘no’ very often. It’s draining on the soul. Especially when it seems that for such a service, there should be more staff on hand, to help customers, and also help other staff members. Public storage lets down everyone, customers, and employees, alike. All the burden is put on the employees, who are treated like a human shield for the company. Employees are trained to say “yes”, but actually ‘no’, in the most runaround kind of way. This is done to the point that it cause a constant pile-up of tension and stress, leading to nervous ticks ( ie. twitching eyes (the PS twitch) ). The amount employees are paid, doesn’t warrant the amount of responsibility. Because of this, they can’t find employees, since long before a pandemic. Since they refuse to pay fairly, current staff suffers with pay that can’t pay the bills, and zero support at work. Good luck calling in sick if ever needed. They won’t love you for that. Customers also suffer because of the lack of staff, which they take out on the existing staff. It’s a vicious cycle and I wouldn’t recommend that anyone offer themselves up as a sacrifice for the company by working there. They are like Weyland-yutani.

Pros

You can say you’re employed somewhere

Cons

They’re like « the company » from ‘Alien’

Poor district manager useless in every sense of the word

Some of the coworkers were ok to work with but most of them were useless and didn't understand the concept of work. Contracts for renting units were hard to understand.

Cons

District manager was rude and ignorant

Pros

930-6 schedule

Cons

Good Place to Work Overall

Not the best base pay, but they offer pretty good bonuses and benefits. With all the extras, its actually better than most. They have a drug plan that you have to pay for, but its pretty cheap. My bonus was good and depends on what stores you get assigned to. They have Christmas partys and stuff, and overall its fun. They have a RRSP matching thing, which is like free money. I did not pout money in it, but i wih i did now. Not alot of people working at one place, so it can be a little lonely, but for me was good. I would recommend for sure.

Pros

Bonus, friendly people

Cons

Working with only one other person

Great place

Working as a Property Manager at one of the Mississauga location since 2014. Good pay with great benefits. Job includes Administration, some accounting, customer service, little bit maintenance/cleaning etc. Very relaxing with less stress, lovely atmosphere, Management/District Managers are very accommodating and always ready to help. Great chances for the promotion.

Pros

Great benefits / Very relaxing job

Cons

Sometimes it’s too boring when you are doing the same job again and again.

Pov

The environment can be difficult to navigate at times.. Public Storage is no different from any other org...There are moments of bliss and ignorance! Relaxed approach however things get done... Human Resources rep lacks knowledge and experience...no education?

Management

Very dictatorial type of management approach. You do what you are told, follow the script; if you do not memorize the script, then you are expected to read it verbatim. Who knows the customer in front of you could be management

Pros

Medical benefits

Cons

No growth

The best place to work and grow !

10 Years as Property Manager and those were my golden years. Co workers used to be like my family members. Awesome place to work and build your careers. Mentors are so affectionate and friendly.

Could be great

The type of job is great. You have enough to do to keep busy and active. It is the management that ruins it. Toxic managers, toxic supervisors, thefts, rudeness, the list goes on. My experience was with two toxic managers who talked down to us like we were trash, broke into lockers of customers they didnt like, refused to follow rules, did no work themselves but put it on their co-workers and treated customers rudely.

It pays the bills

Its ok, it pays the bills, there is nothing more that I would like to say, except that it pays the Bill's. So it's ok, because it pays the Bill's ok?

Great place to work.

Great people to work with. Does not pay well. Lots of job requirements including but not limited to, customer service, data entry, and lots of cleaning both inside and outside.

Difficult schedule and no communication

Head Office and management were never on the same page. A physically and emotionally very demanding job with small salary. Management was never satisfied with results. Although the title was manager, we have no power in hiring, firing or any important decisions. Huge staff turnover. For every 8 hires, 1 would stay. The others left when they realized what the job entailed.

Pros

Occasional bonuses

Cons

Bad management

The job is 50% janitor and 50% customer service. Co-workers good.. HR unhelpful. Minimum support from the management who do not appreciate your opinion.

Pros

Stable

Cons

Mean salary increase

Arrogant Boss / Low pay

Work is easy but too many things to do, No appreciation and very low pay. Start pay 14.75 $ but you are responsible for Cash, Cleaning and Calling etc etc. For everything you have to deal with the District managers and if you are not a fan then you are screwed. You will not get promotions, no pay increase and working every random days of the week. Labour laws doesn't exist here. Human resource manager is not listening to the staff. HR manager is just to send job posting and not to take care of people. For everything you are on your own because managers and cooperate is one team and relief mangers and property staff opposite team.

Pros

free time to sit and chat

Cons

low pay and no growth

The worse Company Ever

The reporting and managerial structure is so awful. They ask customers to write reviews about them so they can get good name but if you get inside you realize they are all insensitive towards customers. All they know is money and poor customer service...If you can play the negative you are promoted

Pros

Everything is just bad..Get another storage

Cons

District managers don't know their roles and poor salary
