Pros

Efficiency - all information to be successful is made available to you. Advancement - many properties in the area, so you have the opportunity for promotion - if you take extra responsibility and produce positive results. Support Groups - a department for marketing, training, financial services, procurement, utility services, legal, etc; so you have resources to reach out to if you need direction/assistance. EQR knows how to run a property. They are very successful at running a business.

Cons

You have so many support groups, so you don't need to learn a lot of items that are involved with running a business or real estate. You are somewhat specialized; however, it is a positive if you prefer to focus on a certain task and be successful with it.

Pros

The communities are physically nice

Cons

The biggest problem is the current tour policy is sheer insanity. On-site staff are already burning out by headcount being reduced whenever possible, and on top of it, they have made tours unlimited (5 tours can be booked at once, and this can happen every 30 minutes, even for 1 person working). Leasing agents and on-site staff are going to leave, burn out, continue calling out causing further short staffing. PLEASE do something about this policy before our office staff disintegrates, it is truly awful.
