Pros

This company is not going anywhere, the business model makes the company more money than you could imagine. Unfortunately their strategy bleeds into the way they treat their employees as they Nickel and dime everyone at their review!

Cons

There is a complete disconnect between upper management and company representatives in the filed! Communication between regions is minimal causing company policy and procedure to blur between regions and even between properties!

We appreciate you taking the time to give feedback on your experience. We understand that sometimes things are different between regions and properties based on the needs of that market. We have a diverse portfolio and a "one size fits all" approach is not always realistic. Equity Residential prides itself on taking educated risks and pushing the bar higher - this means that we are constantly changing, however, we value the people who work hard to make us the leader in the industry that we are. We invite you to contact your local HR Director if you have specific concerns you would like to discuss in a confidential setting.

Pros

The communities are physically nice

Cons

The biggest problem is the current tour policy is sheer insanity. On-site staff are already burning out by headcount being reduced whenever possible, and on top of it, they have made tours unlimited (5 tours can be booked at once, and this can happen every 30 minutes, even for 1 person working). Leasing agents and on-site staff are going to leave, burn out, continue calling out causing further short staffing. PLEASE do something about this policy before our office staff disintegrates, it is truly awful.
