Pros

My experience while working with Equity itself was fantastic due to the relationships I built with my coworkers and residents.

Cons

The role lacked an extreme amount of managerial support and problem solving.

Thank you for sharing your takeaways from your time with Equity. While it’s always uplifting to read comments that highlight fantastic experiences and strong team connections, there's a pause for concern when the same perspective notes a lack of managerial support. One of our 10 Ways, and something we encourage our employees to exude, is to respectfully “Question Authority”; we’re hoping that during your time with Equity, you were able to reach out to your manager, Regional Manager or HR team to share your concerns.

Pros

Great Residents. Nice and quiet neighborhood.

Cons

Toxic work culture. Lower management is very poor and just about non existent. Dishonest.

We are disheartened to read your review. “Toxic” is a word we hope would never be used to describe our culture. Our managers are trained to support our teams and lead with genuine heart. Please reach out to your former HRD to provide us details so that we can look into your experience.
