      Pros

      This company is not going anywhere, the business model makes the company more money than you could imagine. Unfortunately their strategy bleeds into the way they treat their employees as they Nickel and dime everyone at their review!

      Cons

      There is a complete disconnect between upper management and company representatives in the filed! Communication between regions is minimal causing company policy and procedure to blur between regions and even between properties!

      We appreciate you taking the time to give feedback on your experience. We understand that sometimes things are different between regions and properties based on the needs of that market. We have a diverse portfolio and a "one size fits all" approach is not always realistic. Equity Residential prides itself on taking educated risks and pushing the bar higher - this means that we are constantly changing, however, we value the people who work hard to make us the leader in the industry that we are. We invite you to contact your local HR Director if you have specific concerns you would like to discuss in a confidential setting.

      Pros

      Great benefits, excellent property management software, plenty of learning opportunity, constant training, company outings.

      Cons

      Pay is not enough for all the work they will put on you, very clicky environment, they will promote those that are "liked" by area or regional managers, not necessarily the most capable of doing a designated job, claim to be customer service oriented, very greedy company, it's all about $$$
