Pros

Fair compensation, great commission structure, good leadership, lots of room for growth, excellent benefits, good training programs. Seems like there is always something being offered to employees that go above and beyond. Lots of recognition for achievements. Equity has a culture that actually makes me want to get up and go to work.

Cons

Inconsistent management practices between different properties; sometimes lazy people get away with a lot. Use of national vendors and not much attention to local vendors who could offer better services at a cheaper price. National vendors know we have deep pockets and cut so many corners that it winds up being more expensive despite the national contract.

We really appreciate your feedback. You highlighted some things that we are very proud of in our culture and gave us some things to review as well. We would definitely recommend that you speak with the leadership in your region about specific areas that you see for improvement, especially related to vendors. We may be able to explore local options or explain why we currently use the vendors that we do. We do our best to be transparent and are always looking for ways to improve- your feedback would be most valuable with the local facilities team. Thank you, again- we are happy to have such amazing people working with us that can offer such insightful feedback.

Pros

Housing discount, strong portfolio exposure, opportunity to work across multiple communities, and valuable experience in a fast-paced leasing environment.

Cons

Management loves to preach “teamwork” until something goes wrong, then suddenly it’s every employee for themselves. Very documentation-heavy culture where certain managers seem to enjoy writing people up more than actually developing talent. Communication is inconsistent, accountability is selective, and favoritism is hard to ignore. Commission structure is shockingly low for the workload and expectations. Leadership often presents itself as organized and supportive, but behind the scenes there’s a lot of blame-shifting, targeting of employees, and policy confusion — especially regarding employee housing and lease transitions. My own experience at the end of my employee lease felt retaliatory and left a very negative impression.
