Pros

Equus is a mid-size business that still has a lot of the flexibility of a startup. The hardware business is a tough industry where it's difficult to differentiate yourself. Equus went through a major reorganization from the top down a couple years ago, and then again more recently. Although not everything was done properly and there are still challenges, both re-orgs have helped the company find its path and define how it will be successful moving forward. The company is an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) which means everyone from top to bottom in the org has skin in the game for the company to be successful.

Cons

As an ESOP, behaviors are sometimes driven based on bottom line versus whats right for the company. This was at extreme levels for many years but the introduction of new leadership has softened the stance of bottom line only, but it still exists. The two main locations (MN and CA) operate very differently and have a culture differences. The MN location is sales and back office focused while the CA location is production.

Pros

Most people that work there are good people who got the short end of the stick.

Cons

Really too many to list. Low pay, terrible raises, no way to advance. They just keep you believing things are going to change, but it's ruled with an iron fist that won't budge. I was underpaid from day 1, and no matter what I did , I always got a 3% raise. Employee morale is non-existent. I'm embarrassed to say that I drank their cool-aid for7.5 agonizing years. The straw that broke the camels back was the new management making the employees do multiple jobs (I became a part-time facilities manager to help them figure out how to add cooling and heating to the warehouse for less than $1K!). They are the CHEAPEST MOST MISERABLE company I have ever worked for and they do not value a single employee (unless perhaps you're Taiwanese).
