      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.

      At the end of the interview, the interviewer said “HR will be in contact with you very soon”. Does this mean I got the job since it’s HR and not the recruiter or am I overthinking this? Any tips to ease post late stage interview anxieties?

      Process Coordinator

      I have an in-person interview for a job I applied for earlier this summer and was in the final 2. They went with an internal candidate that time. I had 3 interviews the first time, but none in-person. This is the first interview this time. Is that a really good sign? Or should I not read into it? Also, I haven't had a professional in-person interview for 7 years, what do I wear? (female, 40's)
