Experts in student storage? Absolutely.
Specialists in college moving? Unequivocally.
These might be common things but trust me when I say that the members of the Storage Scholars team do them uncommonly well.
Behind every company is a team of people responsible for its success. You don't always get to see their faces or hear their stories. They are the people who work together behind the scenes to get the day-to-day operations running.
Each person has a unique job, which is a critical component of the company's performance.
And then there's Storage Scholars!
Well, technically, these individuals each have their own job titles and responsibilities but, in reality, they do much more than their job titles depict! No bar is too high when it comes to what these team members can do. From customer success to blog writing to recruitment, this team literally does it all.
They are GRITTY.
They are ELITE.
They are TENACIOUS.
They are OUT OF THE BOX (problem-solvers).
And you're about to meet them all!

Frequently Asked Questions
Who works at Storage Scholars?
Storage Scholars is staffed primarily by college students who understand the move-in and move-out experience firsthand. The team includes campus coordinators at each of the 100+ schools we serve, regional managers who oversee operations across multiple campuses, and a core leadership team led by founder and CEO Sam Chason. Every team member has either been through the chaos of college moving themselves or works closely with students who are. This isn't a faceless corporate operation—when you interact with Storage Scholars, you're usually talking to a fellow student or recent grad who genuinely gets it.
Does Storage Scholars hire college students?
Yes, and it's one of the things that makes the company unique. Storage Scholars actively recruits college students as campus representatives, storage specialists, and interns. These roles offer real startup experience—not just busy work. Team members handle logistics, customer communication, marketing, and on-the-ground operations during the busiest storage seasons. Many former Storage Scholars employees have gone on to launch their own businesses or land competitive corporate roles because of the hands-on experience they gained. If you're interested, check the Storage Scholars website for open positions at your campus.
How does Storage Scholars maintain quality across 100+ campuses?
Scaling a service business across more than 100 college campuses requires serious operational discipline. Storage Scholars uses a combination of trained campus teams, standardized processes, and technology to ensure consistent service quality everywhere. Each campus has a dedicated team that knows the local dorms, building layouts, and school-specific move-out timelines. The company also uses customer feedback actively—with 4.5 stars across 1,000+ reviews, they track and respond to every piece of feedback. This campus-by-campus approach is why the service works whether you're at a small liberal arts college or a massive state university.
What is it like to work at a startup like Storage Scholars?
Working at Storage Scholars is very different from a typical college job. Instead of following a script, team members are given real responsibilities and trusted to solve problems on the fly. During peak season (April through September), the pace is fast and the stakes are real—students are counting on you to handle their belongings with care during one of the most stressful weeks of their year. The tradeoff is that you learn more about operations, logistics, and customer service in one semester than most internships teach in a year. It's the kind of experience that stands out on a resume because you can point to tangible results.
