      Pros

      Outstanding support system for new and current employees, healthy home/work life balance, and a culture that invites new and fresh ideas without fear of losing your job or for speaking up on what you feel may be the right thing to do. EQR is with the times and they try to streamline everything to make your job easier. I love that I can easily communicate with all of our residents via email, I love that we have upscale events for our residents, and just overall appreciate the support that has been given to me as a new manager to the company.

      Cons

      I have been an employee for about 6 months now and no cons that I can think of. I've been in the industry for about 10 years now and this is the happiest I have been and I feel like I can truly be myself.

      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.
