Pros

Equity Residential is the company to work for if you are in property management! Management truly cares about and mentors employees at every level. I can honestly say I feel appreciated for my time and work ethic. Heath care is awesome as well as paid time off. Work for Equity, you won't regret it!

Cons

Can't think of any, maybe more flexible work weeks?

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns, although we are disappointed to hear that you have not had a more positive experience. We recognize that working an overnight shift is very challenging, and quite different from the daytime experience, which includes a larger team and more customer interaction. While we strive to create communication tools and channels to help all employees feel like valued members of the team, we recognize that there is always room for improvement, and we are very open to hearing your suggestions. We encourage you to reach out to your Community Manager to set a time to meet and discuss what you have shared here, or to contact your Regional Manager or HR Director. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to improve your perception and experience.
