Pros

I agree with the fair/balanced reviews already written here (you can tell the people with an ax to rind so to speak). Your coworkers really determine your enjoyment and success. All this being said, many of the issues mentioned in these reviews are found in any major corporation regardless of industry. Compared to other Property Management companies I'm familiar with, Equity is by far the best and the only PM company I will work for.

Cons

I've worked for the company for over 7 years and there has always been this unspoken "inner circle" you seem to need entrance into in order to be promoted. The company constantly changes its focus, policies and procedures; and there is a continued disconnect between between corporate employees and field employees.

Pros

Transfer within properties around the country

Cons

Work hard as a slave with a strong pressure from upper management CLS score is all it matters, numbers Don't care about how hard you've worked if they don't need you anymore they put you on the streets Make you do work that is not under your job description If Regional doesn't like you anymore for something you did she will put you out without giving you her face. They only promote friends Stress kill you with this company. Almost all employees smoke due to that.

Pros

The uppers are smart and business-minded. The company is going in a positive direction.

Cons

Pay could be a little better. Should focus a little more on customer service on site.
