Pros

Competitive Pay and Benefits. Annual raises. Monthly bonuses. PTO. Work/life balance is superb! The only reason my phone would ring for something work related on my day off would be for an absolute emergency. In this regard, ESS is something of a unicorn in my experience. Also, being closed on Sunday is a real blessing. Good culture of teamwork. Support from chain of command is always easily accessible. Good work environment. Clean and well maintained facilities. When something needs to be fixed, it is! I.T. infrastructure is almost always reliable and easy to use. Again, when there is a problem, a solution is usually only a few clicks or a phone call away. Store management is given the tools necessary to make case-by case decisions with customer care and implement them quickly with minimal delays because of needed approvals. Checks and balances are in place, but they aren't a burden.

Cons

The slow times can be really slow. But there is always something that can be done to pass the time: cleaning, organizing, etc. Delinquent tenants. . . What can be said? Some are understanding of the situation, others treat you like it's your fault they didn't pay their bill on time. Just have to remember to not take it personally. It can feel a bit discouraging and tedious to keep calling and emailing and texting the same individuals over and over again and never seem to get anywhere with them. But that's just a small part of the day-to-day.

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
