Pros

Solid discount to live at different properties. Create friendships with team members. Understanding property management terminology

Cons

It’s all about who you know to move up. You have to give two week notice to get the raise you deserve. Careful with fake smiles around management. Do not waste time on receiving certifications as there is no raise or guarantee you will get promoted. RM dictates who they want living in their building.

Thank you for your feedback, as well as your noted “pros”. Your “cons”, however, don’t align with our values and warrant further discussion. Equity Residential strives to create an inclusive work environment, and we take allegations like favoritism and unfair treatment very seriously. While we see that you are a former employee, we would still encourage you to contact Human Resources at 202-971-7088, to further discuss your experience with us.

Pros

No pros, all cons. Higher ups don’t care about their employees and will overwork them to the ground.

All cons , horrible upper management
