What a year that continues to give into 2021! Our leadership team took a very thoughtful approach to the pandemic and all of the other 2020 events that occurred. We want our teams to feel supported and cared for. Thank you for acknowledging that effort and appreciating it with this post.

Pros

Lean organization Super Solid Leadership Comprehensive Benefits Leaning into diversity and inclusion Creating a inclusive culture where employees' voices matter

Cons

-Equity is very cost-conscious. However, this approach keeps everyone employed and paychecks (including bonuses) coming. -The onsite teams are staffing is somewhat lean.

Thank you for taking time to send over a thoughtful review. We appreciate what you have to say and your insight into what the Equity Team can work on to be better. We are glad that you see our commitment to diversity and inclusion and to providing great leadership and benefits to our teams. We do continually look at our staffing on-site to ensure efficiencies yet allow employees a work/life balance. Our employees voices do matter, which is why we do regular pulse surveys, as well as an annual Employee Experience survey to hear what our team members have to say. Equity leaders are working hard to make sure that everyone is included and heard every single day!

People are genuinely nice and kind.

A very conservative approach, which makes sense given its REIT profile.
