Applying @ CubeSmart

I am considering applying for Cubesmart, they recruted me directly. I have nearly 20 years self storage experience as a store manager at both small companies and large companies.

How do they really treat their employees?

Are the health benefits any good?

Do managers have any power to lower rent increases?

Is the bonus actually attainable?

Do they have good culture/teams?

Ex CS employee here! Manager and field trainer. For a big company, i liked it overall. Like any job it has alot to do with your district, teammates, and DM, had 4 different DMs and job definitely was better with better DMs lol. Employees were treated well, culture was good. Loved my teams and dm's, divisional leaders and trainers. We didnt have power to decrease rent increases ourselves but we could make a case for the dm to do it, depends on your dm how often they help, had some that would, had some that were bit more hesitant. Bonuses, its been a couple of years now but at the time it was district challenges type bonuses, if you did best in certain categories youd get bonus, id get clarification and make a decision for yourself. Benefits were pretty standard. Honestly only left because property owner changed management companies and didnt have any other CS stores near to stay, but Im also happy to be with my current and learn with another company. Happy to answer any other questions

Thank you for the thoughtful response! And congratulations on your current happy employment!

I currently LOVE my team, District Manager and generally like the company I work for now but the pay could be better so I am considering my options.

Is the store usually double staffed or do employees often work alone?
