      Pros

      Great learning experience all around for an entry level position. Potential to make good money depending on the property you work at. Great potential for growth as they promote often from within.

      Cons

      understaffed and sometimes it is an overwhelming amount of work for one person.

      Good Experience! Great Stories

      Pros

      The industry itself is pretty fast paced, so days are never short. There is always something to do, and some conflict to resolve. It is a pretty active position, which requires you to be on your feet, which is nice. It is not a desk job. Another added bonus is a late start, with 9:00am typically being the earliest. This allows for long mornings (and long nights!). Equity has a lot of resources as far as software and programs which helps make the position easier. Benefits are great for the industry. And you can meet many colleagues, throughout the geographical area.

      Cons

      Residents are just the worst! This is an intimate brand of customer service that can really wear you down emotionally. That, coupled with corporate pressures makes the stress to salary scale, imbalanced. Lastly, working weekends. With this position, you will want to work weekends for commissions.
