Pros

Gym membership Staff friendliness (when management was not watching)

Cons

The management team is cruel. I was berated for taking fifteen minutes away from my desk to eat lunch. You are encouraged to be seen working out in the gym, but if you do you are again berated from being away from your desk. I was one of few sales people friendly to front desk and shop associates and was accused of this being that I was hoping they'd drive potential new members to me when in fact I just wanted to treat all my coworkers with respect and friendliness. The maintenance staff not only makes crazy low wages for what they do, the equinox members treat them like crap as does equinox management. It is hard to witness. I was literally told to tell a gentleman who said he couldn't join because he could find a cheaper gym and put more in his kids college fund that the gym membership was more important... Seriously? I was asked in the interview process to both cut my hair and wear more makeup (all about image at the EQ) As said in most reviews, turnover is ridiculous. If you take a job in sales, expect to be fired right when you become eligible for health insurance unless you hit 150% of your goal. Very sexist environment in sales. Men are treated with respect and if they have a question it is great cause they are building their experience, women with a question are weak and whiny.

Pros

The best part about working for Equinox is the free membership, however there are many other perks such as motivation, discounts on clothes, personal training, and spa treatments. There are new clubs popping up all over!

Cons

Equinox has a very high turnover rate and the pay is low. If you have a degree and want to work for equinox, a corporate position is definately the way to go. Or an upper management position at a health club.
