Pros

Management does a really good job of cultivating a positive working environment, letting those of us in the field know when we are doing a good job and making us feel valued within the company. Within my first year I was given the opportunity to relocate with a promotion, and have been given plenty of support to help me succeed. Work life balance is great, cannot express how great is it to have a job I am not stressing about when off the clock.

Cons

Understaffed. The job can be complicated, and it is hard to get people on board when the pay isn't outstanding, even with monthly bonuses.

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
