Pros

Get to work with different branches of the office every day. Everyone I worked with was very friendly, and really tried to help me learn.

Cons

Sometimes there was not too much to be doing, and it could get boring.

Pros

I enjoyed working with Equity Residential very much, good benefits and good pay.

Cons

Some of the manager are not the right people for the job. Had a horrible and lazy manager who was just being paid to show up but not to work.

Hello, We’re very sorry to see your "cons", as they are in no way consistent with how we want employees to treat our residents. We do expect that managers ensure policies and procedures are being followed, which can feel like micromanagement to some. We believe a culture of accountability is important and part of Equity's success.
