Bad Companies to work for
There is a growing list out there of really, really bad companies to work for. Me and my wife quit one such company out of California. The following 8 months after we quit the company hired and fired 16 sets of managers. The company wanted us to do illegal stuff. What gets me is we have excellent references and had the facility at over 90% occupancy. Time after time when we leave the occupancy takes a nose dive to the 70%. Another thing to watch for is companies that pretend to be all that but in reality aren't. The big warning flag that your working for a bad company is when they start dangling the "free Apt" over your head. Really super nice apartments rent for around $750 a month and that's better than any storage living we have ever seen. Another thing we have noticed is the companies that pay the lowest have more problems, especially unit break-ins. You get what you pay for. Allot of property owners and company owners think they can walk on water. They talk down to their employees. We also won't work for a company where managers are walking on egg shells every time an owner shows up. I'll never understand the logic of going through 16 sets of managers in 8 months and having their occupancy drop just so they can play god with peoples lives. With hundreds of new storage units going up every month it's getting worse not better to find a good job in storage and it's getting harder for management companies to find good managers. We have seen managers fired for stealing and with-in 30 days their working for another storage company.
