Great Company, Lacking Mid-level Management

Pros

The benefits are great and compensation seemed to be fair.

Cons

Mid-level management was at times difficult to deal with and was often concerned with how people used their personal time off. Taking time off was frowned upon with snide comments about leaving a department understaffed.

Thank you for stopping by to write a review and adding some of your input to how we can work to change and develop our mid-management team mates. The concerns that you’ve noted in both your cons and advice to management certainly don’t align with Equity’s values, and we would invite you to reach out to your local Human Resources team to further discuss the specific experiences that you’ve outlined. We encourage our employees to have conversations about change, growth and development on all levels - from personal growth to team growth!
