Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are discouraged to hear this is your perception of our promotion process. It is in stark contrast to our core organizational values of diversity and inclusion. Any internal candidate who applies for a position and is not selected should be provided with concrete and direct feedback as to why; if this was not the case for you, we encourage you to ask for a development plan from your manager(s). We are also sorry to hear that you are feeling less motivated under your new GM, and encourage you to discuss your concerns with your GM directly, or with your Regional Manager or HR Director (202-971-7088) if you are more comfortable. Thank you, and we hope to hear from you in order to address your concerns.

Pros

Employee focused, fun outings, fun people to work with, upper-management really seem to care, amazing culture and values. Offer flextime.

Cons

My training was very slow and I didn't have enough work to keep me busy. I sat idle for a great portion of each month. They claim pay includes various benefits (most companies have the same benefits, but at Equity you can get the price a little lower) but if you don't take those benefits, you don't get additional compensation (pay). Little room for promotion as the turnover is very low.
