      Pros

      Equity Residential had a great work environment and support system. Equity sold out of South Florida and I would like to work for the same type of company ans work ethics.

      Cons

      That Equity Residential is no longer in South Florida.

      Pros

      Great communities and great peers. Lots of growth in DC metro area. Great leadership conferences for CM and above. Cutting edge technology.

      Cons

      Upper management is out of touch. Local leadership did not have your back and could not be trusted. Your performance is judged by over 45 metrics. Some manipulation was used to make numbers look better. Short sighted decisions were made to hit earnings. Fooling leadership in Chicago and didn't feel good. Local support sucked.

However, we have to disagree with other concerns you raised as this is not how we conduct business. Please contact HR in Chicago at 312-928-1184 to elaborate on your comments so we can explore this in more detail.
