      Serious

      Leasing consultant

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Large company and great communities. They really don't wont to hold on to any community that can't make it. You can make awesome friends along the way . They pay isn't bad if you know what to ask for...but you have to ask! Offers a constantly evolving environment where you can gain a lot of experience.

      Cons

      I've been with Equity for several years but they are tough. If you don't do what your told and don't do it well then your time is over. Smile and take it. Over the many years and changing technology I feel that Equity has let go of its culture in exchange for metrics. You will notice a new metric on your dashboard at least once a month in some MRI release that can track you in a new way. If they could hook you up to a machine and monitor your bodily functions...they would. Be prepared..getting a promotion is going to be the fight of your life. It's all good if you give them what they want (miracles) just learn to how to make yourself look good.

      Excellent core values, hard work to trickle down to properties, excellent career experience, the best matrix system.

      Pros

      Pay for performance, diversity, allowed to function as your own business

      Cons

      Hours needed (not required by the company) to be the best are far too demanding to have any work - life balance, even with all the company programs to promote balance.
