  • 1-2 years of customer service experience
  • Willing to relocate upon promotion into an Operations Manager role (once fully trained, usually between 1-3 years of hire. Relocation assistance is provided as most of our Managers are promoted out-of-state to one of our other 46 nationwide branch locations.)
  • Leadership or supervisory experience preferred.


Skills you'll need to succeed at XTRA Lease:

  • Strong analytical and decision-making skills.
  • Strong organization skills; including the ability to multitask and prioritize work.
  • Strong customer service skills; including the ability to handle customer complaints and resolve issues to ensure a satisfactory resolution.
