      Pros

      Lots of growth opportunities. They have advanced technology that allows you to complete your job easily and many competitors do not have the technology Equity does. Work life balance, loyalty to good hardworking employees, lots of resources. This company is one that you can have a career for a long time.

      Cons

      Thin staffing, wish there was more money in the budgets to throw nice events for residents vs throwing something together that is free or in a tight budget. Some buildings need a little love in the common area renovations. Would be nice to have phones paid for or half the bill paid considering we use our phones for a ton of work related items.

      Thank you so much for taking the time to share such honest, balanced feedback. We are so pleased to hear that you are impressed by our technology - we have invested a great deal of time and funds into making it the best in the industry! We also thank you for your comments regarding resident events, renovations, and cell phones. We definitely agree with you about the need for more events, which is why we added a Resident Event Planner position in our DC market this summer! We hope your community has been able to benefit from this addition. And while we have completed or approved more capital projects and renovations in our portfolio in the last few years than ever before, we also know that this is a constant need, and you have our commitment that we will continue to evaluate and prioritize each community’s needs. Please keep sharing your specific feedback and requests with your RM, Facilities, VP, and Investments Officer - they all are always open to hearing from you. As for cell phones, we appreciate this suggestion and will keep it in mind as we continue to evaluate and enhance our total compensation packages. Thank you for all that you do to lead your community and team to success as a Community Manager - cheers to many more years of working and growing together!

      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.
