Pros
Great mentors and training for new employees looking to get into property management. Equity's structure is unbeatable and their support/response to escalated issues is excellent.
Cons
Sometimes what upper management says does not match what they tell their sales teams in regards to renewals and sales. It creates a lot of extra work if leasing consultants could be more straight-forward and provide more transparency to residents. Compensation and bonus/commission structure could be higher to compete with other companies. A lot of private companies steal away great employees.

Pros
Excellent healthcare benefits. Vacation, personal and sick days accrue very quickly, but good luck being allowed to take them.
Cons
If you enjoy an ever increasing work load full of unrealistic and impossible expectations, Equity Residential is the place for you. Sketchy commission structure and no work/ life balance included. There is an serious disconnect between upper management and onsite employees.
