Don't do it, it's a trap! Avoid ELS at all costs.

Pros

Set schedule, lots of paid time off

Cons

Everything. Don't be tempted by the PTO. Benefits are terrible with the most backwoods knock off insurance for property members (Corporate gets the standard BCBS) Never worked in such a toxic and unstable environment. The corporate construction team have no idea and are mostly fresh out of college with their Construction Management degree. Getting answers from anyone to find out what is going on is impossible. Everything and everyone is off schedule and nothing ever goes the way it is supposed to. Closing 3 and 4 months after scheduled closing date is the standard and praised I guess. Can't get necessary office supplies like TP, hand soap, etc. Please do yourself a favor and skip ELS.

Pros

Pay is decent, hours are good

Cons

Manager is on a power trip and has a battle going on between them and the residents, let another employee intimidate and threaten me, no communication skills what so ever by the manager, my employment position was stripped of it's identity then never defined, was told by manager I was not allowed to make friends with the residents, that I shouldn't learn their names, they did not care one bit about the residents or guests, "This is MY park" yelled the manager when when I was explaining that the resident volunteers really did most of the planning for events. It was supposed to be a fun job creating fun for the residents and guests of the park, but it was not even close.

Now is the time to be with ELS

Pros

ELS has made drastic improvements to the company culture here. The home offices have improved support to the property level in every aspect. The focus is on the teams and the customers now. On boarding and training is a major focus. Team members are encouraged to take ownership and innovate in regards improving the customer experience. The culture is bottom up now as opposed to top down. Learning and development has done a great job implementing these cultural changes. Now is the time to be with ELS! - All employees receive a free membership to Thousand Trails for quality time off with family.

Cons

Compensation is on the lower end of the median.

We thank you so much for taking time to write this review! We are so happy to hear that you have seen the changes that we are implementing, as we know there are a lot of teams/departments here that are working hard to improve upon our procedures and processes every single day. Our people and culture are extremely important to us! We want them to be able to voice their opinions and also own their piece of els so we can all grow and innovate together. Our L&D team will be ecstatic to hear this feedback as they have been working on a ton of new projects to ensure our changes are being implemented at all levels. We will continue to put focus on property level, as we know that they work extremely hard to provide wonderful customer service a great atmosphere for all of our residents and campers. We also agree, who doesn't want a free camping membership!? If you have anything further you would like to add, please email us at human_resources@equitylifestyle.com. Thank you!
