Pros

Over the 15 years, I have worked with EQR, the leadership and my teammates have become stronger allies in our space and the focus on DEI is beyond compare with other multifamily companies! The focus on the employee experience with surveys, townhalls, appreciation days, leadership summits, DEI webinars/speakers, community service opportunities and strong values has never been more prominent in my worklife everyday.

Cons

We continue to find our way in providing the best service for our customers and employees but this has included changes in our business model that we continue to streamline. There will always be discomfort with change but we are in it to win it and working together to make it happen!
