An Environment of Excellence
CLS Culture

At CLS Living, our culture is what makes us who we are. We are committed to providing our employees a superior workplace environment and experience with our signature cultural and development programming.

The CLS Culture Committee was specifically created to keep the pulse of the company, ensure a positive and enjoyable work experience, and address any arising cultural needs. With great success this committee launched a tradition of quarterly team building days across all properties, inspiring lasting bonds and camaraderie even when we are geographically far apart.

CLS Living strives to ensure that every team member has the support, resources, and backing to do their jobs well. Our training program is best-in-class, and we are always looking to recognize and promote outstanding employees. And through CLS Project Assist, we seek new ways to give back to our employees as well as to our greater communities through carefully selected charities.

Truth is, we are the best at what we do, we have a lot of fun, and we’re serious about driving value for real estate. And it shows.

CLSLife
Our Signature Company Culture

At CLS Living, we seek to infuse every interaction with appreciation, guidance, and encouragement, helping team members consider their coworkers as friends and family.
