You do not want to work here...
Technical Support Specialist (Former Employee), Westshore Blvd. Tampa, FL –
Pros: steady paycheck and benefits
Cons: horrible supervisors and management staff, mandatory overtime, constant schedule changes
They treat employees horribly at Equity in Tampa. They do not want you to have any life outside of the office, and demand mandatory overtime with little (or sometimes no) notice. If you have another job, school, children, or any other commitment, they will make sure your job gets in the way of it. I did not learn anything new here, and felt like I totally – more...  lost my edge in the industry after going without continuing education for so many years. The only enjoyable part about working here was being around some of my co-workers. Over the last 22 years, this was the only job that I literally dreaded going to every single day. – less

Large fast paced enviorment
Maintenance (Former Employee), Everett, WA –
Pros: large fast pace company, learn a lot from the training programs
Cons: pay
The company in itself is large. I found myself being a number and with the amount of employees you became a number and it was difficult to stick out. I worked at a location that had 375 units. I was able to learn a lot from their training courses that they offer but they pay just wasn't enough to keep me there. My family was growing and I needed more. – more...  The benefits were great though. Paid insurance, 1 week vacation as soon as you start and sick time. – less
