Now is the time to be with ELS

Community manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

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 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!

A part timers point of view.

Administrative assistant

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Part time job just to keep busy during the week.

Cons

Company is too micro managed. Local managers don't have much decision making authority. Takes too long to accomplish tasks. Pay is base line. Three years with the company and still at minimum wage. Smaller resorts are ignored. Even a resort always profitable can't get the funds to do needed improvements that have been requested for years.

Awesome company- And extremely Successful REIT

General manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Ability to manage freely as long as you are performing well. Successes are measured by performance goals either financially or project driven. Great corporate office in Chicago to assist when necessary. Overall friendly and great atmosphere. Great ESPP which has performed extremely well since IPO.

Cons

The health care coverage is weak. Limited positions at higher levels and lots of hiring from outside the company, so sometimes people struggle to grow.

Thank you for taking the time to review els! We work really hard to provide an atmosphere that is supportive and collaborative and we are glad you feel that exact way. We especially want to ensure all of our properties are supported, as we know it can sometimes be hard with our locations situated across the US. That being said, we know there is always ways we can improve upon this and help all employees reach their goals so we appreciate your feedback.
