Equity Residential Reviews

Wow - what an incredible compliment you have given us! We sincerely thank you for your 10 years of service; the fact that you have such a positive attitude about your career and the company speaks volumes about your work ethic and dedication. Employee recognition and engagement continue to be priorities for us, and we are thrilled that you see it as a reality. We continue to evaluate our staffing models and business practices, and we will always be here with an open ear - so please keep making suggestions to your RM, VP, and corporate leaders. While we know change sometimes takes time, we hope you have seen in your tenure here that it is possible, and that patience and persistence pays off. Thank you again for everything you have given the company, your employees, and your residents. Here’s to your next 10(+) years!... MoreLess

Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective on your time with Equity! We believe that the sky is the limit here and we love to promote from within, so your feedback is very important to us as we strive to improve our communication strategies and to educate our employees about the best way to grow and advance. Thank you again, and we wish you the best.... MoreLess

Hello, and thank you so much for your great review! It is always a difficult decision to sell a community, a portfolio, or to exit a market altogether, and we are sorry that our time together ended when we transitioned out of Arizona. We are glad you remember your experience with us fondly; we wish you all the best, and hope our paths will cross again one day!... MoreLess

We truly appreciate the time you took to share such meaningful feedback. It is beneficial to hear your perspective, and we couldn’t agree more with all of the great things you shared as “pros ” - particularly about our amazing employees and caring leaders - but your words of advice ring true as well. We want to ensure that all of our team members feel equally engaged, empowered, and developed, and from the thoughtful and balanced way you articulated your views, we imagine you have some great ideas for us. Please know we’d love to hear more of your ideas and suggestions, and we encourage you to reach out to a member of our HR, OTD, or Employee Communications department to continue the dialogue. Thank you for your 8 years of service, and here’s to many more!... MoreLess

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement for our recruiting team! We couldn’t agree more about their commitment to bringing awesome talent to Equity, and we are thrilled to hear you feel the same way. We also appreciate the feedback you have shared about the challenges of learning our industry/company and the need for clear communication. We always say that there is no written handbook or manual that could ever cover all of the unique situations you will encounter in this industry - no matter how many years you have been in it! That is exactly why hiring the right people with the right drive and attitude is so important. Regarding the emphasis on numbers and metrics, we hear you. While metrics will always be an important part of how we evaluate our wins and challenges as a publicly traded organization, it seems there may be an opportunity in the way those metrics are communicated and emphasized to you and your teammates. We are much more invested in the behaviors that drive the metrics than the metrics themselves, so keep on giving it your all and striving for ongoing learning, and we are sure the numbers will follow!... MoreLess

We are concerned about your comment regarding favoritism and discrimination, and would like the chance to discuss this with you, so we hope you will reach out to your HR Director at 202-971-7088. We would also like to take this opportunity to clarify that our employee rent discount policy is the same for all employees, both field and corporate. In New York, the rent discount that is available to all full-time employees is 33%, and employees who wish to utilize the discount benefit must meet the community’s screening and income requirements once the discount is applied. Please reach out to your Regional Manager if you need further clarification on the policy. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts.... MoreLess

Hello, and many thanks for your fantastic comments! We are so pleased to hear everything that you love about working for Equity, and in particular that you have recognized our efforts surrounding employee engagement. As for your comment regarding our bonus structure, we are always open to feedback and have made efforts over the years to experiment with different bonus and commission structures in order to remain competitive. We rolled out our new commission program earlier this year, and as our compensation team is continually evaluating the program, your feedback could be very helpful. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Regional Manager or a member of your Recruiting or HR team if you have any specific thoughts or suggestions to share. Thank you again for your review, and for your enthusiasm and dedication. Keep up the great efforts, and we will keep striving to make Equity a great place to work!... MoreLess

A high-five to you for your five-star review! We are thrilled to hear that you have experienced career growth in your time with us, and we are excited for your Equity journey to continue. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!... MoreLess
