What are perks and other benefits like at Equus Workforce Solutions?

You get to help people

Literally anything else. Low pay, have to do the work of 3 people, no training, incompetent management, impossible to move up, benefits are not great

The local Equus organization is very supportive of its employees. There is a lot of understanding and care for work-life balance. Communication from top to bottom is clear. My Project Director advocates for it's employees and is always looking for improvements.

At the corporate level, the benefits aren't great. There is no paid maternity leave and the health care package is less than ideal. For a company that promotes helping those in the community and lifting up others, they don't really support mothers that well.

Great company good benefits and we help our community

No cons, really great place to work

Great to get to help people. It's a good introduction to Non-Profit/Government jobs.

Overloaded with busy work, they don't stick up for their employees, keep adding things to the workload, and have no raises built into their program. They keep eliminating positions and adding them to your workload. Then you get written up for not keeping up. Very toxic management style. They keep employees barely above the poverty line while government jobs pay way more. The benefits are awful and expensive. If you need some experience with case management and love helping people, it's a good starting place. But don't stay long. Find something else if you can.

No OT, benefits, friendly staff

Management - motivates by fear

Decent Benefits, Many employees are passionate about the mission to help find jobs.

High Stress and many are left to manage on their own. There is poor communication from upper management.

I like the concept of the company and how it’s intertwined with helping people. Oh and you get to wear jeans and sneakers on Friday.

My supervisor was lazy and hardly took a proactive approach to lead her team. Some examples include but are not limited to…National meeting invites would get sent to me 10 min before they started. Meetings in my department with other BSC’s were almost nonexistent so I sometimes felt lost. Essentially, I never feel guided nor did I feel like my supervisor set a good example due to her doing the bare minimum. Personally I liked the duties attached to my role and actually enjoyed preforming them, but my colleagues are extremely overworked. They (Talent Development Specialists) are overworked because management is constantly throwing new assignments to complete that are not stated in their role. Employees being overworked with little compensation leads me to believe this is why they have such a poor retention rate. Also, their benefits are horrible. You only get one day of PTO per month.

I would say the Pay and benefits

Management is terrible. There is no structure and no true training. The director is the worst of them all.

Working with the community and making a difference

No maternity leave offered, no cost of living increases

Nothing good to say about EQUUS

Consumed with DEI not merit, 401K contributions stop for highly paid employees who run profitable programs. HR is not supportive of project management. Top management takes away PTO and decreases mileage reimbursement to increase profit. Work / Life balance is impossible to achieve, management calls can last 12 hours. IT is non supportive and only concerned with preserving IT jobs. Medical benefits are useless, it’s just Obamacare marketplace. Not an organization to have trust in supporting its employees.
