Pros

great benefits stock options discounts with vendors software advancements

Cons

Your raise every year is predetermined and not negotiable, your commissions are sometimes discretionary- not every manager pays out every commission. Some former employees were terminated with one story and then told unemployment offices a different story. Property or regional/area managers can prevent you from changing properties or applying for promotions. If you live at an Equity Property and get terminated, you have 7 days to move out.

Pros

Transfer within properties around the country

Cons

Work hard as a slave with a strong pressure from upper management CLS score is all it matters, numbers Don't care about how hard you've worked if they don't need you anymore they put you on the streets Make you do work that is not under your job description If Regional doesn't like you anymore for something you did she will put you out without giving you her face. They only promote friends Stress kill you with this company. Almost all employees smoke due to that.
