      Thank you for taking the time to share your perspectives. As you mentioned, there are a lot of opportunities for growth and development - opportunities that are complemented by a strong leadership team with a passion for training and mentoring others! In response to your noted con, we’re hoping that you’ve shared your viewpoint with your Community Manager and/or Regional Manager. And to echo your noted pro, our leadership is really great, and would want to hear more about what you're describing. Additionally, you can also reach out to your local HR team to further discuss your concerns.

      Pros

      team building pay and commission Company technology

      Cons

      Not as much flexibility in the schedule as advertised. They make you switch to "other projects" aka get yelled at by residents for how much they are charging for their new lease.

      We appreciate you highlighting so many positives, such as compensation, technology and team building - thank you! We encourage you to speak with your manager regarding your schedule and project assignments, as they would be able to speak directly to your specific role/position and address any misunderstandings. Please know that while Equity wants employees and residents to feel heard and valued, if communication becomes disrespectful, you should notify your manager immediately.
