Salaries For Self Storage Managers

Being a storage manager is not an easy job. I get such a laugh out of those people without self-storage experience who call me to be placed in a manager’s position. The first thing they say is, It looks like such an easy job. All you have to do is chat with people, rent a few units, collect the rent, and just sit back and watch the time go by. Plus you get a free apartment! If these people only knew a site manager wears many different hats: salesperson, collections agent, lien-sale expert, maintenance person, security guard, office manager, supervisor to relief staff and psychologist to tenants. Not to mention most on-site managers are a team or married couple, and it takes a very special and talented person to work and live with a spouse 24/7. Pamela Alton, owner of Mini- Management Services.
