Equinox has the highest turnover rate for Massage Therapist in NYC

Business Outlook

Pros

You can make money as long as you know how to sell yourself and don't mind being aggressive. Think retail sales. Very cool staff which is typically the reason some stay longer than a month.

Cons

Low wages, high turnover. Corporate could care less about their employees.

Equinox Marketing: It's not fitness, it's a terrible company.

Business Outlook

Pros

The free gym membership is incredible, but not worth it in the end. See below...

Cons

On my second day at Equinox marketing, 3 of my team members resigned. In 10 months, that number grew to 15. There is that saying, "people don't quit companies, they quit their bosses," and that couldn't be more true in this case. Management is terrible and there is no room for growth -- which, surprise surprise, is why the majority of great talent is leaving. Word to the wise: STEER CLEAR if you want to gain experience in innovative and/or digital marketing. Even if you want a good brand on your resume, it's best to look elsewhere. Pay is terrible. Please note: I say this having not had the worst experience at Equinox. I got out while the going was 'good,' so to speak. Equinox's new president may turn things around, but she's got a long, long way to go (we're talking years).
