Pros

As I embark on my eighth year with the company, I find myself reflecting on how this journey continues to bring me immeasurable joy and fulfillment. The sense of belonging to a company that champions inclusivity, fosters inspiration, and extends unwavering support has profoundly shaped my personal and professional growth. My experience at Equity has been nothing short of remarkable, and it's due to a myriad of reasons. Firstly, I feel truly seen – not only in the sense that my progress is nurtured, but also in the way I am continuously motivated, challenged, and, most importantly, celebrated. This profound sense of acknowledgement significantly contributes to my overall well-being. In a climate where organizational changes have become the norm, I am immensely grateful for the transparency and openness demonstrated by our leadership. Their considerate and inclusive approach to decision-making ensures that every member of our team feels valued, even in discussions and choices in which we may not be directly involved. This commitment to transparency has cultivated a deep sense of care within me, reinforcing the notion that my voice matters and my well-being is genuinely considered. As I look ahead, I find myself filled with an enduring sense of belonging and enthusiasm. Equity isn't just a workplace to me – it's my home. I am eager and inspired to continue growing alongside the company, knowing that my journey here is nothing short of extraordinary.

Cons

Overall none at the moment.

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.
