Pros
ELS has work life balance down. People come in around 9am and leave around 4:30pm. Each day everyone is allowed to wears jeans, which is nice when the weather is bad. According to the President, which he recently told all Chicago employees at an all company meeting, regardless of the fact that no raises have been given to some people in four years, "we are lucky to have a job."
Cons
No respect from the president or anyone in senior management, which trickles down to each department. There is no team attitude at ELS. Heavy turnover in key departments because of lack of respect. No raises in four years. Managers do not set out a clear defined career path for thier employees. HR has indefinable control over hiring, firing and pay.
