Equity Rocks!

Pros

The pay and benefits are pretty fair. The company advocates for vitality and well-being more than any other company I've worked for. You get a discount on your rent. I can't complain about the hours either.

Cons

There really isn't any "down-side" working for Equity because most companies are similar in this area of opportunity. That is, we could use more coverage during the peak season.

If Equity rocks, it’s because YOU rock! Thank you so much for taking the time to highlight our benefits and your experience working here. The request for additional staffing during our summer months is definitely an ongoing theme, and we assure you we are committed to continuing to evaluate staffing models. The last few years, we have hired additional floaters going into the summer, and we plan to continue that practice going forward. We hope it makes a difference for you and your colleagues!
