Pros

Corporate Company with family atmosphere. Great benefit package, Paid time off, awesome management and leadership team. Co workers are awesome. Meeting new people and not micro managed. I really enjoy a fact that corporate asks for our feed back and actually listens to any suggestions and ideas we have.

Cons

With the 5 years being part of the ESS Team I haven’t came across one con towards this company. If I would have to pick something i would like to see memorial and labor day added as a paid off holiday. But that is really a suggestion. Not a con

Pros

Solid schedule - 40 hours per week, not expected to be there more than that. No one looking over your shoulder constantly (unless you have a new DM, they can't seem to help it) Mostly great people to work with Local, immediate management does care and are helpful.

Cons

Very large rate increases really upset customers and that's just too bad. We are given word to tell them but it just isn't true. Putting more money in stock holder's pockets is the bottom line and it doesn't matter how much anger we have to deal with. You are absolutely expected to sell insurance to every renter. However, you must be careful because you aren't "insurance salesmen". You get a ding when you don't sell it. We are encouraged to use evasive language and rush through it so the renter thinks it's required without quite saying so. You would think this large of a corporation would have handymen available but it is so, so difficult to get the smallest repair done due to getting bids from vendors, turning them in, reminding the person you turned them in to what needs done maybe getting approval, then scheduling. By that time lights (or whatever) have been out for a month or 2. Benefits are very expensive and cover so little.
