Higher rental discount, however you're taxed a lot at end of year and end up owing taxes.

We appreciate your commitment to Equity and for your 3 plus years of teamwork! More than anything, we appreciate your openness about compensation. This is an area that Equity is constantly addressing and evaluating to make sure that we are competitive. We encourage you to talk to your Regional Manager and/or Organization and Talent Development Manager about career development and seeking out opportunities to grow your career.

Thank you for your tenure with us! We do take performance very seriously and encourage managers to be giving regular and consistent feedback, as opposed to waiting until the end of year review. Growth can look differently for each person, and we have a variety of training and development offerings for employees to continue to grow in their career. We do know that there is always room for us to grow as a company too, so we appreciate the feedback and wish you the best of luck!
