Pros
If you live in an Equity Residential building, you get a rent discount. They have a great training program. The benefits package was decent.
Cons
They expect too much of the employees at large properties. I was doing the job of two people. They also secret shop you, requiring you to say certain things and forcing your pitch. You are allowed no freedom as a salesperson to read the customer, no matter how many performance awards you've received. If you live on the property, the discount is not enough to deal with never leaving work. Fire alarm? Crazy resident? Walking your dog? You are always on duty. Only the Property Manager gets to live on site for free. The Assistant Manager deals with just as many hassles, sometimes more, but only gets 20%. Corporate pep rallies are excruciating. They made us dress up and the executives showed up in suits. It's tough to have a professional, face to face with your boss while wearing a football jersey and a boa. They seemed to like it that way.
