We appreciate you taking the time to comment and highlight the growth and development opportunities within Equity. We’re sorry that your perspective on the promotion process wasn’t a positive one, as we strive to ensure a collaborative and transparent interview process that focuses on identifying the most qualified candidate for a position. We are continually reviewing and refining our process, and are committed to listening, not just hearing what our employees are saying. We wish you the best!

Incredible Company to work for

Pros

I was fortunate enough to have worked with the best during my 6 years with Equity Residential. From my onsite team and leaders to upper management, I felt valued as a person and employee. My hard work and dedication to the business was rewarded in more ways than monetarily - through various opportunities such as extra courses to advance my career, new hire coaching, training, and awards.  The VPPM's and RM's are active in your day-to-day and easily accessible if needed. Our CEO and COO were present through the pandemic as well as BLM. The support from our National Sales team and OTD (to name a few) is ever present as well.  Overall EQR is exceptional company to work for, and if given the opportunity to do so, take advantage of all they have to offer.

Cons

Not having properties in the city I moved to.
