Pros

The free gym membership is incredible, but not worth it in the end. See below...

Cons

On my second day at Equinox marketing, 3 of my team members resigned. In 10 months, that number grew to 15. There is that saying, "people don't quit companies, they quit their bosses," and that couldn't be more true in this case. Management is terrible and there is no room for growth -- which, surprise surprise, is why the majority of great talent is leaving. Word to the wise: STEER CLEAR if you want to gain experience in innovative and/or digital marketing. Even if you want a good brand on your resume, it's best to look elsewhere. Pay is terrible. Please note: I say this having not had the worst experience at Equinox. I got out while the going was 'good,' so to speak. Equinox's new president may turn things around, but she's got a long, long way to go (we're talking years).

Pros

Equinox was one of the cleanest gym I have ever worked. The other trainers where all over the place some cool some thought they where the number 1 trainer in the country. One of my managers was fantastic very helpful and over qualified to work there to be honest. Just know what you are getting into.

Cons

The other manager was all about number (yes its business I understand) But there was no development she was clueless. Work very long hours and the pay is not 100,000 like they say you will work for months and months before you can even make a living.
