Compass Self Storage

Easy responsibilities, huge expectations.

Your primary responsibility is rentals. Whether its through walk-ins, word-of-mouth, outside marketing, and going to social events.

Maintain the property's appearance by keeping grounds inside and out clean.

The (NEW) big thing the company is all about is getting Google reviews. Not everyone wants to leave feedback and the company doesn't want to hear that as an excuse. Going as far as wanting you to take the person's device and help them.

The training experience is as good as the trainer doing your training. You'll do about 10 hours worth of video training which is outdated and the person (in the videos) doing the training is reading off a script, is robotic, and is filled with repetitive nonsense that can be explained in a third of the time. There will be so much you won't know afterwards and will only learn through your GM or personal experiences. 

You'll gain plenty of experience dealing with customers/tenants throughout each day whether its walk-ins or over the phone. 

There are many metrics your property is to meet (and exceed!) to be in good graces. You'll be written up for not meeting them, and after 3 strikes-you're terminated.

There is an entire marketing department that doesn't market for you. They give you the tools to market for your site and you're to do "grass-roots marketing" during your shifts.

No weekends off unless you're using PTO (which can be denied if whomever approves it, doesn't). 

You get personal birthday cards, mother's/father's day gifts, Christmas hams which feels great and you feel part of the "family". 

Compass Self Storage has been not only the best self storage company I have worked for but also the BEST company period!  Hard work is definitely appreciated - just do what is required and there aren't any problems at all.  If you are looking for a job where you can just sit behind a counter all day and stare at your phone this isn't the place for you.  But if you want a position where you work hard and enjoy engaging with people this is THE place for you!!!  

I have been with Compass for a few years now and the management, while expecting a certain level of service and hard work, have been very generous with bonuses, contests, and even a free dinner thrown in here and there!  Do we work holidays?  Sure we do.  It is a retail/service based industry.  But honestly if a holiday is slow with not much going on we close early.  We are here to rent units, sell merchandise, and rent trucks and that means holidays can be busy!  I enjoy knowing that I have a full time position and that my hard work is appreciated.  If that doesn't scare you off and are looking for a challenge then consider Compass Self Storage - BEST MOVE I HAVE EVER MADE!!!

So I have been working here since November 2015, and I have never been happier with my job. Most people start as a Manager or General Manager, either title is pretty much the same is regards to the work you do, normally there are one of each title per store. The GM is truly the one in charge of the site, but the normal Manger has just as much responsibility.  

The pay is very fair, in fact for me it is the highest paid job I have ever had. You also get monthly bonuses dependent on how the store as a whole preforms. 

Upper management is awesome, and they do promote from within, so you could go from Manager to GM to District Manager. 

Things to know if you are applying to this job:

1. Have a good attitude, it will get you far, as will a good work effort.

2. We are all involved in our local Chamber of Commerce, and we like to go to networking events, so expect to go to a few events per year.

3. Since we are small we like to advertise with local businesses, this means doing some marketing once a month. This primarily involves meeting owners and managers of local businesses, trading business cards and brochures. It is not hard to do, nor do we have a goal to generate $X amount per month from these marketing ventures.

My experience was made better by my specific District Manager. They are big on reaching sales goals and will give you bonuses when you reach them. It is designed so that the busier you are the more money you bring home. The bonuses are big enough to placate you from asking for raises...until the bonuses slow down and you realize how much money you actually make!
Working here, I never have to worry about a customer making my life hard because supervisors always give employees the benefit of doubt unless given a reason to think you are not trustworthy. Most days there is no oversight and the company relies on you to be self driven and determined to do work when no one is watching.

I have worked for several different companies over the years & Compass by far has had the better opportunities around. There are always bad apples with every job, but if you do your job well & dont do stupid things to scam the system you can have a very good job with this company. Several reviews state: lack of advancement, part of that is we just dont have a high turnover. I would recommend working here to anyone I know as long as they understand the business & the demand of the job. Most days are pretty easy but we have those stressful day where it seems everything can go wrong. Software changes can be stressful & Upper management changes can be unnerving, as long as you do your job to the best of your ability & understand customer service, you can succeed here with a great company! 

I've been in the storage industry for 13 plus years, and can honestly say thus far Compass has been a blessing. I enjoy interacting with customers of both Compass and Uhaul. Storage as a career may not be for everyone but we deal with EVERY type of person you can imagine. 
 It's a blessing to know that management has your back, and genuinely cares how things are going in the business AND on a personal level.  The company is growing quickly and with that growth comes some of the growing pains associated with it, but everyone in upper management that I've dealt with has been nothing but helpful.
 Pay is average for the industry. Bonuse program is slightly above average.
When properly staffed a GM and or Manager will maintain a healthy work/home balance.
 I can see myself with Compass in five years.

This company is a Mom and Pop store/feel trying to make waves like a big corporation. Their initial software system was failing all the time and the new one is no better. And they want you to call the help desk for everything, every time something goes wrong, which is all the time. No raise, just increases in commissions. 401K-yay. Macro Micro Management. Upper management is rude and cocky, and speaks to you in a demeaning and sarcastic tone. Owner sends you a ham and chocolates at Christmas, and daily thoughts messages. Not necessarily the worst job I’ve had but it looks and fronts one way when it’s altogether something different. This job has a lot of Moving Pieces that come with it. Part time work with Full Time Headaches! 

Absolutely impressed with working for our company.  When I say our company, I truly believe and feel that.  I feel like I have a voice when it comes to decision making.  I have felt that everyone is like family from the first day working with the Vice Presidents to interactions with customers on a daily basis.  Bonuses are what you make of them.  The money is there to be made, it's just how you approach it.  I have worked for several large corporations, and this is by far the most pleasant and relaxed environment yet.  Just be yourself, come to work and do your job and let your inner self shine and this will always be the place to call home.

Working at Compass Self Storage has been a positive experience overall. A typical day involves assisting customers with rentals, payments, and move-ins while keeping the property organized and secure. I’ve learned valuable skills in customer service, sales, and problem-solving. Management is supportive and communicates clearly, and the workplace culture is friendly and team-oriented. The hardest part of the job can be managing multiple tasks during busy days, but the most enjoyable part is helping customers find the right storage solutions and building great connections with them.

This company is great to work for! 
The organization appreciates their hard working employees. If you thrive in a competitive environment,sales and like bonuses this is a good job for you. They have monthly sales competitions between locations which make it fun, they have holiday parties with gifts, company buys your uniforms for you and they are always Nike or Eddie Bauer brands, and large gift cards for nailing phone calls. You do have to do grounds upkeep outside and that can be a con, but in the summer it is nice. You will be doing retail sales, upkeep customer records, cleaning grounds, customer tours, and calling for payments. If it was in my field of study I would have stayed there.
