      Pros

      Overall this company has been really good to me. I came in as part of a buyout and it has been a great experience. Equity has fair pay, great benefits, and a overall good culture.

      Cons

      I would not say it's so much of a con, but for many people it's difficult to adjust to. At Equity we work really hard and run on the lean side. So at times it can be stressful with the work load, but this culture of work hard is I believe fairly rewarded.

      Thank you so much for your thoughtful review; we are pleased to hear that you have been enjoying the ride since joining us 8 years ago. You make a great point about what may be challenging for some. We believe in efficiency, resourcefulness, and hard work - and we agree with you that employees who successfully embody those traits will be the most likely to rise to the top from their efforts. Thank you also for your feedback on our compensation package. We restructured bonus targets for many positions last year, and raised the 401(K) match to 4% a couple of years ago. We also encourage you to take advantage of resources we provide such as the budgeting tool HelloWallet and our webinars with HelloWallet and/or Prudential. In the meantime, please know that we are committed to an ongoing review of all aspects of total compensation. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and for 8 years of hard work - here’s to many more!

      Pros

      Housing discount, strong portfolio exposure, opportunity to work across multiple communities, and valuable experience in a fast-paced leasing environment.

      Cons

      Management loves to preach “teamwork” until something goes wrong, then suddenly it’s every employee for themselves. Very documentation-heavy culture where certain managers seem to enjoy writing people up more than actually developing talent. Communication is inconsistent, accountability is selective, and favoritism is hard to ignore. Commission structure is shockingly low for the workload and expectations. Leadership often presents itself as organized and supportive, but behind the scenes there’s a lot of blame-shifting, targeting of employees, and policy confusion — especially regarding employee housing and lease transitions. My own experience at the end of my employee lease felt retaliatory and left a very negative impression.
