We are a small but dynamic team of agents where our goal is to deliver a world class customer experience to people looking for storage. The environment fosters sharing of ideas and best practices and everyone has each other’s back. Quality is the name of the game and getting off the phone quickly with customers is not the mandate. While we operate as a call centre, we are far from the stereotypical ones that are out there. There’s never been a better time to join a team where you can learn, grown and have fun at the same time all in the comfort of your own home.

The Company

Public Storage was founded in 1972 and was introduced to Canada in 1979 and we’ve never looked back. With 65 properties and counting, we are the leaders in self-storage and if anybody asks, “Yes, you can move in for $1”. We invented this promotion!

We operate on three company principles:

• Mission: To work together and be the business of choice for our customers, employees and shareholders.
• Vision: To be Canada’s leader in self-storage
• Purpose: To build a first class, meaningful and long-term relationship with every customer.
