Business Outlook

Pros

- Corporate world, business casual attire, casual atmosphere - Executives on down all feel like family. Very close and open. Open door policy seems real. - Relaxed, adult like environment. Be responsible, get work your done and you can do whatever - Company get togethers, events, parties, lunches, etc - Travel opportunities - Benefits include: Perks/discounts when staying at ELS properties and with third party vendors - Busy work and growth opportunities - Open minds to new ideas

Cons

- Communication between corporate, regional offices and local properties is sometimes difficult - Hard to connect or get on same page with local properties - Lots of "cooks in the kitchen" on certain projects - Better/more healthcare and dental options - Still "old school" ways of doing things. Could use updated technological advances to make things run smoother

Pros

ELS is the type of company that empowers all employees no matter what position you hold. I have found my position to both be challenging and rewarding. We have fantastic support from direct supervisors, peers and corporate staff. With a company as large as we are you have the ability to grow and move to other regions should you decide to.

Cons

Because we are nationwide it is tough for the company to find good medical plans to meet the needs of employees with families.
