Thanks for the wonderful review. We love when our teammates recognize and appreciate all of Equity's great benefits. While it is true that pay and raises at Equity are based on the cost of labor in each market, we strive to be competitive and reward top performers appropriately.

Thanks for your kind words - we miss our Orlando team too! Don't forget, we are in many other markets and would love for you to see if one of our openings in the Ft. Lauderdale area would be a good fit. Good luck!
