Pros

You have all the tools at your disposal to succeed.

Cons

They aren't afraid to let good people go for simply disagreeing with them. The executive staff really doesn't care for the little guys.

Many thanks for taking the time to reflect on your experience with Equity. 10 years is a very impressive tenure, and we thank you for your commitment and hard work. We are, however, very sorry to hear that from your comments that you did not feel appreciated or valued when you left us. We would love to hear more about that if you are open to sharing your feedback with our Regional HR Director at (202) 971-7088. Thank you once again for your many years of service, and we sincerely wish you the best.
