Pros
I love equity! It’s a tough time right now and Equity is doing everything they can to help and step in, providing us with extra emergency sick time, providing the necessary sanitation on site and showing us how much they value us! The benefits are great, flexibility in schedule is good, management is extremely supportive and I love this company.
Cons
It’s a tough time right now! It’s stressful on-site but higher mngmt is showing their support and making it known that they appreciate us. Happy to have a job during this tough time. Honestly, not many cons except it is hard to get into a CM role. Once your there you are definitely supported.

Pros
Supportive management. Higher-ups talk casually and actually get to know their people. Opportunities to move up are common after the first year or two with the company. Many people are eager to help you by allowing you to shadow them at work, teach you what you need for a role you're interested, and coach you. Rental discount is ok but the apartments are great.
Cons
Sometimes the company is very set in their old ways. I have spent a lot of energy pushing the company to do things that they should have done years ago, for the sake of the business. However, this year I think they've realized their processes and tools are dusty, so they've started to rollout new programs.
