Pros
Equity Trust is forward thinking in its approach to expansion of services and capabilities for clients and staff. The company continues to grow through investments in people and technology by implementing tools to increase automation and reduce workloads. I have a great appreciation for the deliberate pursuit of solutions for associates to work smarter. Equity Trust finds success through the collaboration of its associates and that aspect is the primary reason I enjoy working here. Equity's associates create positive outcomes because they care about the end result of not only their personal goals, but the goals of the people the work with. Associates help one another rather than against one another. This positive and supportive work environment makes it easy to come to work each day. In addition to the people I work with each day, I have a great appreciation for the support the company provides towards the mental health of associates through a number of programs. They provide a full gym with commercial weight and cardio equipment, weekly live instructor led fitness classes, and on-site massage therapy services. The company also host employee appreciation events multiple times per year, like patio parties, ice cream socials, food trucks, and various community volunteer opportunities. Equity embraces a work/life balance for associates through a generous PTO policy and a hybrid work schedule. The people and the company offerings motivate me to go the extra mile because I know I'm supported along the way.
Cons
Career growth can become limited at the Manager and Director level, but high performers are certainly recognized and rewarded.
