Equity Residential Response
9yWe appreciate you taking the time to review your first year of experience with us, and are happy to hear that it has been largely positive so far. We agree wholeheartedly with the items you mentioned in your list of “pros.” We strive to offer all of the advantages of a large company (benefits, career growth, training, technology, and structure - to name a few) while never losing sight of the more personal side of running our business. While the nature of being a large, publicly traded company means that we do have a lot of goals, numbers, and metrics to juggle, we hope that our leaders are taking the time to explain to you and your colleagues why each measureable item is so important. We hope you will ask your CM and RM for clarification if you ever need it - after all, Question Authority is one of our Ten Ways to Be a Winner. Thank you also for your advice. We are constantly evaluating all performance - from the sales calls you mentioned up to our senior leaders’ presence and level of engagement at the communities - but if you feel there is an area that is lacking, we hope you feel comfortable reaching out to a member of your local team. The “Who to Call in HR” page on ERNIE is a great resource. We hope to enjoy many more years together making Equity an awesome place to work.
