Pros

I have been in Residential Property Management going on 10 years now and in working for 2 different companies Equity Residential is by far one of the best experiences I have had thus far. I love what I do and every company is different with values and beliefs but I have never felt so welcomed, so much support and a company who truly cares as much as I do! I am so glad I decided to make the move and I plan to be here for a long time.

Cons

I do not have any con's so far.

Pros

I’ve started at Equity Residential almost 8 years ago and I’ve held positions such as Customer Support Assistant, Leasing Consultant, Sr. Leasing Consultant, Leasing Manager and Community Manager. My experience at Equity Residential has been amazing, I love the culture, my managers and the corporate team have always been supportive of my career growth and you can tell that they truly care about their employees. I’m so proud to work for such a wonderful company.

Cons

I’ve worked with Equity and I’m afraid that I do not have any cons at the moment! Just continue to be great!
