      Pros

      I really enjoyed my job at Equity! I feel like I grew so much as a leasing consultant and learned so much about the industry. I enjoyed my teammates and the company as a whole. Every time I visited the corporate office I felt welcomed, and was excited to grow with the company. If I hadn't moved to a state where Equity didn't have any properties, I'd definitely still be working for them! - Compensation - Great new hire training - Rent discount - Sense of community with co-workers and other members of the equity team

      Cons

      - Non flexible work schedule - Commission structure compared to the previous management company I worked for - Short staffed

      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.
