Pros
A friendly professional environment of competitive, determined, hardworking people. Some of the most inspiring senior leadership I've ever had the chance to work for. This team takes care of their own, makes a point to get to know every one on site, and will take the time to teach, develop, and groom their successors.
Most importantly, managers actually get a say in their decision making, and the senior leadership team consistently backs them up and believes in their choices (even if they may not entirely agree). You have freedom to really "think like an owner", but that also comes with the responsibility of acting like one.
The on-boarding process to secure talented candidates has improved greatly over the last few years. Our recruiting team really takes the time to find the perfect people to complete your team, instead of sending you just anyone. Leasing consultant turnover is minimal, and a lot of LCs stay in one place (which is beneficial to a new manager). Most turnover I've seen has been due to promotions.
Which is in part, due to the training and development team. Over the last few years they have developed a program for leasing consultants and service techs to get as much hands on learning with their management training program, accelerate for sales/service. If you're interested in making a career move and join a company that's ready to invest in your future, Equity is the right choice.
Cons
With such a widespread area of communities, your personal preferences of geographic location could keep you from great promotion opportunities.
