Pros

I have learned so much during my time with Equity Residential. The opportunity to work with different teams and at various locations has been an enriching experience, allowing me to build new skills and broaden my perspective. Additionally, the hybrid schedule strikes the perfect balance between flexibility and structure, making it a highly appealing aspect of the job.

Cons

That said, there are areas where improvement is needed. Changes within the company often happen with little notice, which can make it difficult to adapt and plan effectively. Additionally, favoritism among the office can sometimes impact the overall sense of fairness and morale."Great Learning Experience with Room for Improvement"

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.
