      Pros

      Culture separates Equity Residential from the pack. You make a difference - your opinions matter! From the top leadership to the outstanding women and men at our communities everyone lives the 10 Ways. This is a place where you can be yourself, where you will be heard, where you everyone thinks like an owner. Great benefits especially our above average housing discount.

      Cons

      Equity prides itself on being thrifty and self sufficient. That culture is not a fit for everyone

      Pros

      Great company if you work daytime hours.

      Cons

      Overnight employees are treated as second class citizens.

      Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and concerns, although we are disappointed to hear that you have not had a more positive experience. We recognize that working an overnight shift is very challenging, and quite different from the daytime experience, which includes a larger team and more customer interaction. While we strive to create communication tools and channels to help all employees feel like valued members of the team, we recognize that there is always room for improvement, and we are very open to hearing your suggestions. We encourage you to reach out to your Community Manager to set a time to meet and discuss what you have shared here, or to contact your Regional Manager or HR Director. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we hope to have the opportunity to improve your perception and experience.
