      Pros

      I have worked for a lot of property management companies. 2 years ago when I began looking for a new company, I set my priorities towards finding a company that I could stay with long term, a company that exuded integrity and genuinely put people first. My experience afforded me some great offers for managing some new and competitive communities. What drew me to Equity is that they were not willing to give me one of their lease up communities. They genuinely believe in developing their employees and giving them opportunities and grow in their role. While this made me feel like I needed to take a step back, it definitely felt like a company that would give me opportunities in the future and help me grow my career as well. The culture at Equity is very 'people' oriented. The focus on our customers and staff typically comes before the bottom line. Making people happy will bring you the profits you seek and I feel a lot better about what I contribute on a daily bases knowing I have the right kind of support from upper management and senior leadership. There is definitely a sense of pride in this community and I also get the sense that retention of our employees AND residents is much higher than our competitors as well. If you are considering a career in property management, I highly recommend you give Equity a try.

      Cons

      I sincerely feel that Equity Residential is equipped to handle any issue and is great at communication to avoid major cons.

      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.
