Pros

Benefits, Great team, 1 hour lunch

Cons

Many residents in the upper west side apartments are rude, racist, and disrespectful. Management lets them walk all over the leasing office and wonders why so many people want to leave. Btw, its 2017, blatant racism, really?

Pros

Benefits are great and the people are nice.

Cons

Equity talks about Career Opportunities from within, but I didn't see that. It was very hard to move around within the Company.

Thank you for taking the time to share your recollections of your time with us. While we are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the benefits and the people, we regret that you did not feel career growth opportunities were a reality. We continue to evaluate ways to develop and challenge our talented corporate team members in an effort to retain and engage them, and if you are open to contacting your former supervisor or HR Director, we would welcome any suggestions you may have. Thank you.
