      Don't care about employees

      Maintenance supervisor
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Overworked and underpaid. No support from upper management. No respect, consideration, or appreciation for the employees. You’re expected to always work understaffed, and when you do no appreciation is shown. The upper management is selfish and very “ME” centered. They don’t care about you at all, it’s always about having the weakest people surrounding them so they have more control

      Cons

      If you want to progress through butt kissing and appearing to produce results but not actually doing anything this is the place for you.

      horrible coworkers and managers

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great working hours, company outings

      Cons

      Micromanaging, co-workers causing problems, management telling you they don't believe nor care if something serious happens to your kids/family, no proper training but will write you up to start a paper trail, if you stand your ground, you will be fired. Pay could be better, shows favoritism, you take time off they get mad, etc,

      We are really sorry to hear that your time with Equity was one that was not the most positive. We encourage all of our employees to speak up and connect with the Employee Relations teams when situations arise where you feel as if you aren’t being treated fairly. There are also other resources that are available, such as the Call to Action hotline, where employees can voice their concerns. We wish you well in your next role!
