Pros: great benefits, standard lunches, in-house training, hire within company, promotions and bonuses, overtime allowed
Cons: some places could be under staffed
Scheduled tours, scheduled and maintained maintenance board, move-in/move-outs, helped maintain property including light maintenance duties, as well as all legal paperwork for new residents and renewal paperwork of existing residents. I also would hold community meetings, cross=trained for assistant managerial duties with basic knowledge of manager's
– more... financial reports for property, quarterly shop scores, and full knowledge of eviction process and Washington State Fair-Housing Laws. All of the above were all things I learned throughout my stint here at Equity Residential. My management team was amazing and we all worked well with each other as we knew what the other expected of each other. Our team worked efficiently together and allowed all of us as co-workers to mesh well. The hardest part of my job would have to be keeping up to date with all legal paperwork, and if people were denied helping them rebuild their credit so we could further assist them. I enjoyed every aspect of this job but what I enjoyed most was making residents apartments their home and taking care of all their need and keeping watch over our property and staff. – less

I applied here as well and I have over 12 years exp. I was waiting for my interview with another lady. I was 15 mins early, my interview didnt start until 20 mins later. Needless to say the other lady had no prior experience, from what she told me. But she told me she had her first interview 30 mins ago and she is moving on to the second the second interview to see when training starts. I am thinking to myself, why am I here if they just hired this lady and its only one position open. I get interviewed with 10 questions she is reading from a list and a hand shake thank you we will call you in a few days. Days turned in weeks and then I get an aweful email. Thank you for applying to our job., unforntually you dont meet the quailfications. Best wishs on your job search.

I Too applied and had an interview. I have 17 yrs experience in residential property maintenance but apparently they didn't think that was enough. I have seen this ad several times since my interview last year so I'm guessing they don't know how to screen for suitable candidates or are horrible to work for.
