Pros

Great training in place, a network of resources and coworkers, and an overall fun job. You learn great time management and are challenged with something new everyday, you never get bored! Equity is very customer facing and in my experience, the right decision was made to please the customer while also backing up their team involved in any issue. It's important to feel supported by the corporate office and Equity does this well.

Cons

Moving up in the company can sometimes take longer than desired, it seems longevity is sometimes favored over the most qualified applicant. Policies and procedures put in place by the company are pretty solid, but the actual implementation varies from site to site. It would have been nice to have a space to share feedback about direct supervisors on a more regular basis.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and feedback, and for highlighting our fabulous Organization and Talent Development team in your opening statement - we agree that they’ve implemented some pretty fantastic training resources! Each employee’s career growth is unique and specific to that individual, and Equity encourages self initiative and drive in our employees to seek out additional learning opportunities and challenges, and to discuss those opportunities with their supervisors. We are very disappointed to hear about the hiring perspective you shared, as we are continually looking at ways to support both equity and equality in our interview process. And while there are a number of factors that are considered when identifying the best overall candidate for a position, the hiring decisions should never be made solely on the basis of longevity with the company. If you would like to further discuss, we encourage you to reach out to your local HR Director.
