Thank you for your 5 star rating, and for recognizing our efforts and focus on the topic of Mental and Emotional Wellbeing - we appreciate you. Over the course of the past two years, Equity navigated through the pandemic keeping our employees, residents, and shareholders at the top of mind. Some changes were on a temporary basis, while others became the new norm. With that being said, we would encourage you to “Question Authority” and discuss your concerns regarding bonuses with either your current manager or local Human Resources team. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts!

Pros

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

Cons

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.
