Pros

Compensation. There is no other reason. Those who remain give a pound of flesh to remain and are compensated for it.

Cons

At the corporate level, employees have to subvert themselves to the culture and remain vigilant in being on guard from one another. VERY political without cause. Not a place for development personally, professionally, or otherwise. You endure this place versus being enhanced by it. If you take a position there, then remain low profile at all times. Observe the behavior of your peers and try to understand how and why they have become as such. Model them as long as you have to while you search for a better place. Better place DO exist.

If you’re looking for a company with strong leadership, career advancement opportunities, and a clear vision for the future, Public Storage is a fantastic place to be.

Cons

Cons: As Public Storage continues to grow, the pace of the business can be very fast. There are often multiple initiatives, priorities, and opportunities happening simultaneously, which requires strong organizational skills and the ability to adapt quickly. Success in this environment depends on being able to effectively prioritize, manage competing demands, and stay focused on the highest-impact work. While the pace can be challenging at times, it also creates tremendous opportunities for growth, learning, and career development.
