StoragePRO® Management, Inc.
By Erica Shatzer A
ccording to the results of an online survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of
CareerBuilder, only 32 percent of employees are satisfied with their opportunities for career advancement. What’s more, although 37 percent are satisfied with the training and learning opportunities at their current company, more than half (58 percent) believe their company does not offer enough opportunities to learn new skills that could help them advance their careers. While these statistics may have fluc-
tuated since the beginning of 2019, the underlining message suggests that many employees are dissatisfied with their prospects for professional pro- gression. However, within the self- storage industry, one company has been able to successfully offer both advancement opportunities and pro- fessional growth to its team members through its culture of caring.
The StoragePRO Way Walnut Creek, Calif.-based StoragePRO®
Management, Inc., which
landed the No. 26 spot on Mini- Storage Messenger’s 2022 Top Operators list, prides itself on having a family atmosphere despite the compa- ny’s size. And like any good family, its members encourage growth and help each other succeed. Steve Mirabito, StoragePRO’s presi-
dent, built the company around those fundamentals, putting his employees and their personal and professional growth at the forefront of operations. He established a training program,
called StoragePRO University, that enables employees to learn the ropes and advance within the company. But should employees decide to seek opportunities with other companies, it’s his hope that they leave better people than when they arrived at StoragePRO. “StoragePRO provides tools to be
successful,” says Christina Rita, the company’s COO. Some of those resources include peer mentoring and outside training coaches; these com- plement StoragePRO University’s rig- orous syllabus for new hires and monthly training for current employees.
