Public Storage Operations Department Employee Reviews

What do you like best about the leadership team?

Leadership Reviews

They are employee first, they take care of their employees and make sure we enjoy our job and our time away from the job.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 14 days ago

Since the time I joined in April of 2026, my leadership team has communicated very clearly with me. I have felt comfortable being able to ask questions and grow as a new member of the team.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 20 days ago

They listen to our ideas and actuvely engaged with meetings.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 23 days ago

I like that they allow for a work balance environment

Review from Operations Dept

approachable and willing to share their knowledge

Review from Operations Dept

What does the leadership team need to get better at?

Leadership Reviews

If your talking about anyone above the DM. You guys need to do a better job and actually pay your employees a liveable wage. I want like to see the people at corporate do the work that PM's do daily. You would be exhausted having to do what we do. This job makes me very depressed and joyless.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 22 days ago

Leadership needs to focus on understanding its employees individual needs on a fundamental level.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 23 days ago

Value your employees more Managers are receiving way to much pay in relationship to Property Managers- property managers are doing MPV and doing physical labor and multiple job descriptions. Abandon goods bringing abandoned items to dumpsters items weighing over 20-50 pounds. Maintenance, IT, Clean

Review from Operations Dept

be professional and play fair with everyone across the board. Invest time on coaching rather than gossiping and focusing on flaws rather than opportunities and nurture skills

Review from Operations Dept

Stop ignoring employees behaviors. Those who dont work or call out sick should be penalised. Employees that work 2-3 stores MVP shift and do all the job that lazy employees dont should be rewarded financially differently. Public Storages its burning good employees to sponsor laziness and bad behavio

Review from Operations Dept

What is the best part about your compensation package?

Compensation Reviews

Don't know, haven't been here long enough to access all the benefits.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 14 days ago

401k match after a year

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 23 days ago

My personal pay is above the threshold, and our dental and visual are reasonably priced.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 23 days ago

I'm grateful I was kept at my same pay rate when I transferred over with Simply Self Storage. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to afford to stay with Public at the rate they start at.

Review from Operations Dept

No Comment on the best part

Review from Operations Dept

Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?

Compensation Reviews

Respectfully in terms of the hourly rate it is the lowest I've accepted in a decade. Life is expensive and with inflation and changes to the economic climate I believe this job is deserving of higher hourly rate.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 20 days ago

I feel undervalued because Public Storage doesn't pay a liveable wage. You expect us to do all of this labor for free. You would pay vendor to do what we do. But why do that when you can cheat your workers having them do it with no bonuses. The thing that would make me feel better is a better raise.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 22 days ago

Any recent pay increases have been washed away by the recent changes in the cost of living - price of gas and utilities... just subsiding now.

Review from Operations Dept

More money hourly would be good

Review from Operations Dept

Adding nonstop new expectations, without any pay raise or something insulting such as .50 cents. The worse is, no recognition and wrong employees are rewarded.

Review from Operations Dept

What are some of the best things about your team?

Team Reviews

They are all uplifting, encouraging, and want to work together as a team and a family.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 14 days ago

Similar to my answer in regards to the leadership team, my fellow coworkers have been welcoming and able to assist when needed. Still have yet to meet all the members in my district.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 20 days ago

My team all seems friendly

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 23 days ago

My KTPs have an incredible wealth of knowledge and are both easily reachable

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 23 days ago

some very knowledgeable coworkers who want to work as a team and i can rely on... but there are some that just need to go away.

Review from Operations Dept

What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?

Team Reviews

Doing the job, making their calls, and STOP the GOSSIPING, RUMORS and false comments creating DRAMA. Public storage Field Employee handbook states specifically. Gossip and Rumors ARE NOT TOLERATED.

Review from Operations Dept

Yes, improvement is needed. Hiring people who are self motivated, active, thin out of the box, considerate, and people who will show up to work and actually do work.

Review from Operations Dept

We all need better pay then the quality would go up as it stands no one cares so facilities look like crap and are not Class A well maintained. I am a real Class a PM working 2 jobs and this company is definitely not showing appreciation for the employees. I have to work 2 jobs because PS lacks

Review from Operations Dept

I dont think coworkers are 100 responsible of me not wanting to engage more but DM's needs to be more ethical and stop gossiping about others business. Thats creates a toxic environment.

Review from Operations Dept

Actually work and dont come to sleep or work intoxicade or watch netflix all day and dont clean or make phone calls

Review from Operations Dept

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Environment Reviews

Freedom, just we do our job and our managers make sure we do the job but how we do it and when we do it is uo to us as long as it meets company standards and within compnah policy.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 14 days ago

Support from my leadership team and coworkers. The understanding between myself and others that I am still very new to Public Storage and need to learn and acquire more skills.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 20 days ago

All employees seem to be engaged and approachable.

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 23 days ago

I love that although we have lots and lots of tasks to complete throughout the day we have the opportunity to choose what order we'd like to do them in. I love not being stuck behind a desk all day.

Review from Operations Dept

Close friends that i can rely on.

Review from Operations Dept

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

Environment Reviews

Stop arbitrarily raising rent prices

Review from Operations Dept

Insistence ALL managers do the job. We are pretending to be a TEAM. Team DOES NOT mean I (and others ) do someone elses work. Team is 100% equally DOING the job and assisting others when the going get rough not "oh what a great team player, he just did all of the other managers work.

Review from Operations Dept

BETTER PAY!! Hire better people, which you can do if you pay more (attract better talent). This company can afford to pay better like their competitors do.

Review from Operations Dept

Adapt a Culture of Caring support diversity Inclusion it more than speaking words

Review from Operations Dept

The only thing I can think of is for all properties in my district to be better at doing everything the same way, paperwork wise.

Selected group of close coworkers.

Review from Operations Dept

I love my job, my home I live in on property and the schedule I have that allows me to volunteer on Saturday's and attend church on Sundays

Review from Operations Dept

What's going wrong and how can it be improved?

Outlook Reviews

The company focuses too much on things like Google scores, and not investing enough into property upkeep. (I.E. Gates, broken pavement, broken doors, working cameras.)

Review from Operations Dept · Posted 23 days ago

Long, boring days for low pay

Review from Operations Dept

My feet and back hurt every morning, I could do with less cleaning responsibilities. I'd also like to work one day less a week.

Review from Operations Dept

Pay PAY and more pay Public storage is paying property managers less than any other storage competitor!

Review from Operations Dept

Salary and having DM's who can apply emotional intelligence across the board
