      Pros

      Employee focused, fun outings, fun people to work with, upper-management really seem to care, amazing culture and values. Offer flextime.

      Cons

      My training was very slow and I didn't have enough work to keep me busy. I sat idle for a great portion of each month. They claim pay includes various benefits (most companies have the same benefits, but at Equity you can get the price a little lower) but if you don't take those benefits, you don't get additional compensation (pay). Little room for promotion as the turnover is very low.

      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.
