Thank you for sharing your feedback; we appreciate you highlighting your overall positive experiences with onboarding and work environment. We love to promote from within, and in addition to having an amazing Organization Talent and Development team, Equity offers a variety of training/development opportunities. With that being said, we also want to set people up for success, and so there are often times when additional training/experience is needed before someone is ready for a promotion. Each individual career path is different and we encourage all of our employees to have conversations with their managers on what - and when - that next step might be. We wish you much success in the future!

5 stars, thank you!! We certainly appreciate you taking the time to share feedback, and love that you recognize how employee focused Equity is - we have the best teams ever! We appreciate how flexible and adaptable our employees are during transition, knowing that change can at times be a little unsettling. Please know that you can always reach out to your Regional Manager (as well as other Community Managers and team members) for guidance as needed.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback, as well as your 5+ years of service! As you know, due to the nature of our business and being in the service industry, weekends - and some holidays - will always be a requirement for many of our roles. While some “emergency on call” rotations allow for team members to alternate on holidays unfortunately, due to business needs, there are instances in which a rotation may not be possible. Equity is always reviewing opportunities to support a good work life balance for our employees, however, by offering different employee incentives such as wellness programs, paid time off, employee assistance programs and other competitive benefits. We acknowledge and appreciate the dedication and commitment of our employees, and are grateful for their contributions.
