Let's talk about self storage.

I would appreciate any advice, as I'd like to make sure the hourly pay for our managers is fair and equitable. We have two facilities, 200 units and 300 units. One manager at each location, 40 hours/week.

One location has free apartment and all bills paid by us. Both facilities are fairly rural.

Would love some feedback as to how much you are paying at similar-sized facilities.

We also have a retirement plan and help employees with medical expenses. Any other perks you all are offering?

Thank you!
Peyton

Hi Peyton,

I found two blogs on the TSSA Website that may be helpful.

Thanks Carol. I also read the blogs. I realize that markets across the state are different but would like to see some hard numbers. I have a manager that has been with me for 5 years and is up to $16.50 an hour. I have 2 facilities ran out of one office with 691 units. I do employ a couple of part time people to help out at times. I am finding that as I try to hire a new manager (my 5 yr manager is leaving) the market has drastically changed and the starting salaries now are at $16. Can anyone give me an idea if this is competitive?  I do give bonuses periodically. 

Thanks for the help.
