Pros

During the first 4 years of my career at EQR, I learned a lot. I had amazing mentors who actually took the time to teach you and to make sure you had the tools to succeed. The first 4 years set the platform for my career.. and then management changed. I am happy for what I did learn and happy for the opportunities presented.

Cons

There is a pretty big disconnect between on-site sales and corporate. Integrity is lacking in the NY market causing some major on-boarding issues. They are no longer willing to compensate for hard work. Doing the right thing no longer matters. Was with them for 7 years!
