Now days there seems to be no shortage of Mini Storage Managers. I attribute that to the aging baby boomers seeking a way to supplement their income. Having ten years experience my wife and I can be a little pikey when it comes to changing jobs. First of all the Apt (house) has a certain monetary value to it. It does not justify all requests by owners, area managers or district managers. Security costs $25 an Hr and the companies get 12 hrs free security every day. We will not work more than 40 hrs in a week, unless we get overtime. When we started with one of the third largest companies in the USA the District Manager hired us as a team. As a team if one person worked OT so did the other and they were both paid for it. When the company split the new company would only allow one person of the team to work OT. That's fine also. We quit several companies that paid salary and expected both of us to work unlimited OT without compensation. Never again, it's not worth it and the "free apt" still don't make it worth it. We quit one company that works the managers 12 hrs a day, every holiday and pays no OT. If a company don't offer paid vacations we won't work there. We won't lie to customers, we won't do anything illegal at anyone's request and we help law enforcement all the time. The good managers with health benefits, paid vacations, a free apt, and compensation for OT are the cream of the crop. I wouldn't trust an experienced manager that will do anything for the company, that's just wrong. Starting pay $9.00 min for on site managers, $12 min for off site managers. $9.00 for the asst manager no exceptions. You get what you pay for professional management team.
