Pros

Work life balance - You only work during store hours so you are able to be home at a decent hour you get the important holidays off and Sundays to spend with your family. independence - They trust you to do your job and be your own person. the upper management isn't consistently behind your back micromanaging you. They keep their eye on you from a distance and then step in every so often to make sure everything is going good and you don't need assistance with anything Training - It is easy (for the most part) to get help or training on anything you may have questions about.

Cons

Pay - Where as the pay is (somewhat) competitive it is not the best, especially with all the inflation that is obviously not going anywhere it is getting tough having to live so tightly paycheck to paycheck. If I didn't have a roommate I wouldn't be surviving right now.

Pros

Great team, good communication, very direct

Cons

Third party owner sites are awful to work at, more physical labor than explained initially, they claim work like balance but it’s really lacking

Pros

Culture to me is everything in a work environment and the culture at ESS is probably the best have encountered. Work-Life balance is good and training is ever ongoing. Looking for a career and not just a job this may be the place. Control the things you can control! In my district, though we are individual locations, we come together as a team to support one another from SM to AM.

Cons

At times can be gossipy and favoritism. What industry could not pay better? Staffing is an issue. Benefits could always be better and less costly for employees
