Pros
Free gym membership and discounts for shop, food & spa. Some great clients, nice equipment.
Cons
Management, management, management. It’s like Lord of the Rings. Very immature, mostly under 28 years old. Managers have no training, or at least seems like it. Horrible backstabbing, if a manager is threatened or has it out for you, s/he will make your life miserable. The sales aspect is grueling and unfair. Expiring comp and comp sessions paid lower than low. Morale is low because management does NOTHING to drive beyond pounding for “conversions” of members to buy training packages. Is there heart? No. Managers are scrambling to make numbers at the expense of clients and trainers. If you are in with the in, then you access zombieville, a population of desperate, ignorant, mean and mostly unqualified people. Hey, equinox—ever heard of Maslow’s Hierarchy Of Needs? Teach and train managers about MANAGEMENT. Humans are valued assets, not consumable commodities. I have seen so many unethical, manipulative behaviors among management, the fortress will eventually crumble. Seriously, can Equinox deliver if turn over is so high and morale so low? Can Equinox treat employees like valued individuals? Or am I simply an outcast?
