Vantaggi

Great bonus program, great benefits, ability to influence how much you'd pay for Health insurance by participating in 3rd party program "Vitality".

Svantaggi

Miser raises once a year. If you want bigger raise - get promoted a step up. Not many promotions are available though. Hourly pay is not compatible with competitors. Corporate has a huge disconnect with field employees but ask a world from them. Company took away power to make decisions from local management, now everything has to be approved by RMs or RFMs. Lots of things changed since the time I started with Equity. Micromanagement is the hardest thing to get adjusted to. They ask us to put all this info into all these forms/fields/tickets, etc. saying that they just made our life easier however they do not consider that it takes a lot of time for us field folks to track all info and we have been constantly nagged about time management. Properties are understaffed, overtime is frowned upon and god fobid you are over by 2 minutes, you have to write an explanation...

Hello, We want to start by recognizing that the recently announced sale of several properties has been an emotional experience for us all. Although, as noted, the sale will include all of our Denver properties, our employees were not "sold." Great care has been taken to ensure that our employees will be offered employment with the new management company. We always credit our management and community teams for making our customers lifelong and loyal. Regarding your comments about having actions be approved by senior leaders, accountability for financial actions on the properties have been put in place to ensure consistent practices across our entire portfolio. Your feedback is appreciated and we encourage you to share this with your local leadership group. We wish you well and nothing but the best as we transition ownership of these communities.

Vantaggi

Housing discount, strong portfolio exposure, opportunity to work across multiple communities, and valuable experience in a fast-paced leasing environment.

Svantaggi

Management loves to preach “teamwork” until something goes wrong, then suddenly it’s every employee for themselves. Very documentation-heavy culture where certain managers seem to enjoy writing people up more than actually developing talent. Communication is inconsistent, accountability is selective, and favoritism is hard to ignore. Commission structure is shockingly low for the workload and expectations. Leadership often presents itself as organized and supportive, but behind the scenes there’s a lot of blame-shifting, targeting of employees, and policy confusion — especially regarding employee housing and lease transitions. My own experience at the end of my employee lease felt retaliatory and left a very negative impression.
