Pros

Lots of commission opportunities. Corporate seems to really care about employees and they take the time to check in with us.

Cons

Ok support from the property manager. Very competitive between buildings. Can be nasty. Had some commission stolen from Leasing Manager.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. Your statements regarding the level of competitiveness, along with the allegations surrounding commissions are certainly concerning as they don’t align with our values. We have several platforms in place that allow employees to express their concerns, either to their Regional Manager, Human Resources or our Call to Action Hotline. We encourage our employees to exemplify our 10 Ways by “Questioning Authority” and “Doing the Right Thing”. We hope that you shared your concerns with the appropriate parties, and if not, encourage you to contact Human Resources at (646) 833-3972 . Thank you for your time with Equity, we wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.
