B.S. Glassdoor Reviews.

Pros

It's a job. You get paid.

Cons

Oh how they will kiss your behind a few weeks before a big meeting, then tell you to give a great Glassdoor review. After that you are disposable again. Electronic leash. Shady business practices. If a RM doesn't like you for whatever reason, good luck.

Hello, and thank you for sharing your concerns. While we do love to hear from our employees on review sites like Glassdoor, Google, and Yelp, we always want your honest feedback, and we expect that any messaging coming from our leaders will make that clear. Employees are not incentivized to provide reviews, nor are they penalized for failing to do so. We are disappointed to hear of the example you shared, as it is not a practice that our current leadership team condones; in fact, if we were to learn of such a practice taking place, we would take disciplinary action. Once again, we appreciate your feedback, and we regret that your experience with us was not a more positive one. We wish you the best.

Pros

Working at Equity is like having a huge family. Everyone is very supportive and upper management does listen if you speak up.

Cons

There have been a few occasions where too many changes were implemented too fast.
