Pros

- Decent pay for the area and type of work - Easy to get ahold of management for help, plenty of support - Clothing allowance, shoe allowance, gifts for milestones, holiday bonuses - Can promote within first 6 months if you show promise - Stores with ESS ownership are easier to improve and get work done - Site managers have a lot of leeway on how they want to run the building - There are queer groups to speak with in the company, but nothing notable comes from them

Cons

- Health insurance is abysmal and gets worse every year - Promotion is almost TOO easy, leaving unqualified workers in positions they can't efficiently do yet - Stores that have a 3rd party owner make improving the building basically impossible - Store managers who are saddled with bad assistants will basically never see relief, so you must make your own peace or continue to struggle

Pros

Easy job, not much busy work, far away from District so not bothered often.

Cons

Woke company culture, you need to learn corpospeak to work in the field, no individuality even though company culture claims to celebrate it, you must he inclusive to the company but they don't have to be inclusive to you, cannot handle every day speech, very immoral, bait and switch business model, demands you take ownership of rate increases to protect the company even though you can't stop them from happening, will destroy your local reputation. Extra Space Storage is the Dollar General of the storage industry.
