Pros

Equity Residential offers a dynamic, fast-paced environment where there are many opportunities to learn and grow. It offers a first-class operating platform and cares about the employees.

Cons

This company is not for everyone - it's a very tough business and you must feel comfortable with speaking your mind and asking for what you need. You also must be adaptable and willing to test your limit. Those who love challenging work environments will thrive; those who don't will not be happy here.
