Pros

Great Onboarding Process Provide Great Benefits and 401K/Stock options Provide great discounts on housing (great option if you live in LA market from experience)

Cons

LA Management is horrible (I really think they would need a spy to audit employees) Equity LA does not promote growth within the Diversity and Inclusion Area. You can always tell by the RM's and VP's (Any area besides LA is like a dream for Diversity) Work Life Balance means Work and Work for low pay to not have enough for Life Balance The amount of work that is given and you do is not worth the headache. My advice, Please do not sacrifice your mental health for a paycheck

Thank you for sharing your perspectives. While we appreciate you highlighting the onboarding process, 401K/stock options, and benefits including the employee rent discount, we want to address your noted cons, as they certainly don’t align with our values and culture. In regards to work life balance, some of the different employee incentives we provide are wellness programs, paid time off, employee assistance programs and other competitive benefits. In terms of Diversity and Inclusion, we continue to elevate the importance of building an inclusive workplace through Listening Sessions, celebrating Heritage months, community events, and book clubs - just to name a few. We encourage individual thoughts and respectful collaboration, and in Los Angeles specifically, our Vice President of Property Management offers a bi-weekly platform where all employees within the portfolio are invited to discuss current events, concerns and ask questions. With that being said, please know that we take allegations like these very seriously. We encourage our employees to speak directly with their managers and/or our Human Resources team, however we also offer resources such as our Call to Action Hotline (by phone 800-231-5699 or online CallToActionHotline.com), as an option to voice concerns anonymously. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts.
