Equity Residential Reviews

Pros

I started with Equity as a Leasing Consultant, was promoted to Senior Leasing Consultant, then promoted to Assistant Manager and now Community Manager. My experience with Equity has been one of constant support and encouragement toward growth and furthering my career and personal development. Equity frequently rewards exceptional effort and results with awards and bonuses. Pay is competitive. Larger company, which means more opportunities for advancement, more often. Equity is ethical and has created a culture of kindness around "doing the right thing."

Advice to Management

Continue to offer the incredible training and coaching that has helped me to succeed. This makes all the difference in a person's career.

Pros

Equity Residential has a great approach to the term "Work/Life Balance". They encourage you to take time off when possible because they recognize that the better employees are treated, the quality of work increases. I have never felt more confident in a job as I do working for Equity. I truly feel like I can grow with this company and reach for positions I never thought possible. Equity thrives on promoting from within and cares a lot about experience and less about an unrelated college degree. Many VP's and Corporate employees have started from the ground up in this company/field. There is a reason why Equity is one of the top Property Mangement companies in the U.S - residents appreciate the passion and drive behind the company which starts with the employees. Equity Residential is a remarkable company!

Pros

Equity has become like a family to me over the last 9+ years. They really care about their employees and the culture is one of self empowerment and total well-being for each of us. Hard work is recognized and promotion opportunities are plentiful. Equity gives you the tools to succeed and help you grow. I wouldn't want to work anywhere else!

Advice to Management

Keep doing what you're doing. Continue to promote a fair and fun work environment and don't forget to enjoy the ride.

Pros

I have had the pleasure of working for Equity for over 14 years. During my time, I have seen a lot change.

There’s just something about Equity.

Pros

The technology and innovation is remarkable. I am impressed by this large company's ability to take new ideas in to consideration, to listen to feedback and create solutions for needs that are uncovered. There is a great sense and feeling of being on the same team. If something goes wrong, the team is there to fix it and find a solution, no finger pointing. I truly feel that we are in this together.

VP: Corey is an awesome individual to work for. He is very down to earth and try to get to know each individual. He offers great support.

Pros

Great rent discount. Competitive pay for people who go the extra mile. I've gotten a raise every single year but I've also stepped my game up every year and demonstrated my added value. Awesome people! I've made life long friends and really have a support network of people that I can count on. Incredible training. I feel like I'm getting paid to go to school.

Pros

I have been with Equity Residential for a little over 5 years. I started as a Customer Support Assistant, and have been promoted twice since. For the last 2 years, I have been managing my own property, and love my what I do! Equity Residential truly cares about the well being of their employees! I am never without support from my upper management, and always feel that I am appreciated. The company provides a very generous rent discount, and a comprehensive benefits package. If you are looking for a company with an amazing culture that values their employees, look no further!
