Pros

Insurance free gym, free classes

Cons

They do not reward their employees for hard work and never show their appreciation in any way, shape or form They use them up and spit them out It's all about hitting the financial goals and making bonus, even though it may compromise the quality control of servicesl. "It's not personal, it's business" is a phrase said by many a manager at Equinox.
