Pros

None - this company is not what they proclaim to be. Stay far far away!

Cons

Everything - opinion never valued. No say in any decision making. Job transfers unfair as they already have their own plan who they want for position and will complete an interview with you just as a dog and pony show so they could say they were following their internal transfer process. Shady practices going on behind the scenes and with upper management. Tenured employees have been bailing left and right. Equity should now just call themselves Archstone all their employees taking over positions that Equity tenured employees had been waiting for these promotions. Equity doesn't live up to its brand or culture. Consistently lectured on customer service is important and training for customer service. Equity it all falls back on your poor practices by not providing enough staffing to be able to provide customer service and by not allowing us to provide compensations to residents when needed and events.

Pros

some of the leasing agents make such good money and they do have benefits. Also, you get a percentage off of the apartments to live at

Cons

Some of the managers are extremely immature and is super corrupt. The company says they would like to take care of their employees but that is not the case.
