      Pros

      Great training programs, you are really surrounded by very capable people.Equity really knows how to choose the best of the best.

      Cons

      Although Equity really knows how to choose talented people, the job itself will drain you. Upper management can be very unresponsive especially if you are working onsite. It is frustrating because you are first in line for the residents to respond to. The company focuses on maximizing revenue and it doesnt matter how they do it.

      Great people, but runs a little too lean!

      Pros

      I love my coworkers! Incredible level of culture, driven employees, awesome training and opportunities to be promoted from within. If you show motivation and put forth effort they will recognize you for it! My direct supervisor (community manager) is one of the most responsive and amazing people I have ever met.

      Cons

      Expect to do multiple people's work. This company seems to like to run really, really lean. Commission structure is okay, but when you deal with over 300 apartments and are the only team member in the office it can be incredibly draining. Upper management can be pretty unresponsive or downright condescending.
