Pros

The rent discount is amazing! The best out there! The people are very friendly to work with and the properties are nice.

Cons

This company will take advantage of you and promise you high commissions that you will only get 2-3 months out of the year. The rest of the year you will struggle financially unless you get a second job. So if you are willing to do Postmates or Lyft on the side you can afford the rest of the year.

We truly appreciate the time you took to share your thoughts, and we are always open to feedback. We are encouraged by your enthusiasm for the things you love about Equity, and want to know more about your concerns. We recognize the seasonal and cyclical nature of leasing activity can cause variances to commissions. Our goal is to provide base salaries (as well as rent discounts and employee benefits) that are competitive. Please know that we participate in industry compensation surveys and evaluate our salary structures for each market frequently, to ensure we provide a competitive total compensation and rewards package. We are troubled to hear that you and/or your colleagues are afraid to speak up about issues, and we encourage you to contact your HR Director at 206-508-0640 to address your particular concerns.

Pros

The communities are physically nice

Cons

The biggest problem is the current tour policy is sheer insanity. On-site staff are already burning out by headcount being reduced whenever possible, and on top of it, they have made tours unlimited (5 tours can be booked at once, and this can happen every 30 minutes, even for 1 person working). Leasing agents and on-site staff are going to leave, burn out, continue calling out causing further short staffing. PLEASE do something about this policy before our office staff disintegrates, it is truly awful.
