Derrels Mini Storage

Opening at 6;45 am to be ready for 7am,counting the drawer signing onto the computer having your safe closed and locked preparing for the day ahead. What we learned, alot  could have used more supervisor roles, and someone to listen to our opinions,.Co workers for the most part great hardworking  dependable, trustworthy there were a few you had to be careful of.
But that is at any workplace.Hardest part of the job manual labor maintenance keeping up with it in the extreme weather.Most enjoyable  the coworkers you made a connection too, and the tenants most of them are wonderful respectful and great then you get some people not so great with any job. There are so many things i left out this job  description you need to be able to multitask,be patient and understanding,.You work 50 hrs a week
and get paid for 40 there are so many details involved.

This company is OK to work for.  The amount of money is dependent upon the size of the facility.  Bigger Facility, bigger bonus.  The physicality of the job is based on how hard YOU want to work.  We are expected to keep the grounds pristine.  Appearance is EVERYTHING.
The autonomy of the job is great!  But DO NOT expect to be promoted to anything in the corporate office.  As someone has mentioned before, the Corp doesn't seem to think that anyone who is/was a Facility manager is worthy of working in the Main office.  So, if you have designs on climbing the Corporate ladder here.....look elsewhere.
If you are ok with just being a Facility Manager on your own, a company provided residence, and a bonus, then this is for you.
Don't apply if you have kids, as this place is not accommodating for children.

This is not a good place to work. The overall environment is toxic and you'll wonder why you were even hired. Alot of bias and harassment occurs, no privacy regarding HIPAA, oaky work is performed on the facilities just to make them work. Employees in the tech department will attempt to suppress your abilities if you over perform. They don't have the proper tools most of the time. Training is non structural and the techs don't even have a standard, or knowledge on what they're working with. 

The day started at 7am with the opening up of the facilities which included running reports for the day.  Rent units, collect rental fees and post to accounts, answer incoming calls, vacate units and pro-rate any fees due.  At the end of the day run your cash report, balance cash and make deposit, upon completion of all reports send recap to corporate office. At 7pm close safe, set alarm and close facility.

The support if their employees need improvement. Benefits offered are costly to their employees. The incentive bonus percentage is good but have not increased for years for the resident managers . Facility managers do not get weekends off.

Work place culture is not optimal. Very cliquish. Not very friendly management at times and micro managing. Could do a lot better with training employees to do their job. Put downs, negative put downs, discrimination and never truthful even when hired. Find out the hard way if you don’t look them up first. Don’t fall for there warming welcoming onboarding. They are two face and will just replace you. Employer at will they don’t care. 

I retired from insurance and my wife from banking, started second career.  We love our job, working together and meeting the needs of our customers and taking care of our facility.  It often feels like we our operating our own business, and feel vested In making Derrel's a continued success.

Some days could get pretty busy but the customers were great. The GM was a easy person to work for. I loved working here because I had a set schedule. All employees were easy to get along with and very laid back. There really is nothing hard about this job. The best part of the job is I got to work with my spouse daily we had the same days off.

Good time to learn from customer and the company. Some days were bussy, some days too slow kind of bored. I was pleased when I could help people. I learned the procces to take every stall to auction when they didnt pay on time. That is the hardest part of the job. When the customers came in and pay the rent on advance.
