Team Culture

At Evergreen Real Estate Services, we are committed to being an employer of choice and developing a dynamic culture where teamwork is our philosophy, excellence is our standard, and community caring is a way of life. As part of our commitment to our employees and our communities, we are proud that the following programs are part of the Evergreen employment experience:

Giving Back to Our Communities:

“EvergreenCares” is an exciting program through which we give back to our communities and promote employee philanthropy. We “walk the talk” by granting our team members 2 “Give Back” days per year, where they are released from their normal duties and paid to volunteer for causes near and dear to their hearts!

As an organization, EvergreenCares supports Ravinia Music Festival’s REACH-TEACH-PLAY program which provides music education and performance opportunities to children in under-served areas of the Chicagoland region. EvergreenCares is also proud to support Habitat for Humanity, and was recently nominated as Build Sponsor of the year, and recognized as ReStore Sponsor of the Year in St. Joseph County, Indiana.

Giving Back to Our Team Members:

Our “High Five” program is the Evergreen way of honoring those employees who demonstrate exceptional character through teamwork, attitude, integrity, achievement, and work ethic. We love to celebrate our people!

Recognizing Our Employees:

Our annual summer celebration is another way Evergreen thanks its team members for making us who we are. If you haven’t yet experienced the excitement (and occasional hilarity) of one of our events, you are in for quite a surprise and a very good time!

Employee appreciation doesn’t stop there. From discretionary annual merit-based bonuses to ongoing opportunities for advancement, employee appreciation is an Evergreen way of life.
