Pros

One of my coworkers is a decent human

Cons

Micromanaged to death. No budget for facility maintenance projects. Unfair treatment of tenants. Programs used are terrible and do not communicate with each other. Only worried about numbers. Very high turn over rate. Corporate managers have no understanding of store level work and needs, most don't even have storage background. They do everything a** backwards. Incompetence is astounding. We shouldn't have to stand at the ATM with a bag full of cash to deposit either. You force us to be targets for criminals by doing that.

Pros

Great office setting. Occasional office get-togethers. Decent work/life balance.

Cons

The executive is more interested in themselves then the teams that support them, especially come bonus time. The COO gets his rocks off by speaking ill of past and present employees as if it's a sport. At the tail end of 2019, the company went through a self-administration procedure, yet nothing changed. "At the end of the day, it's still HMS's company" - CEO. It was done more for paperwork reasons than anything else. The company praises itself as a tech-forward company, yet in practice, they're just like every other storage provider, in some cases worse due to the lack of oversight. Leadership is vaporware.

Pros

The hours. I liked my 9:30 to 6 schedule it was not too bad. Other than that nothing at all.

Cons

Terrible. They constantly raise prices and are completely unorganized. They treat their employees like garbage and do not even give a discount to their employees. They are just terrible all around money hungry.
