Equix

I worked in a safety role at Equix and want to share my experience with others considering a similar position.

While the company has formal safety programs in place, in practice, I found that safety was often treated as a compliance task rather than a core value. The safety team was frequently caught between field operations and upper management, without much backing when conflicts arose.

There were situations where concerns raised by safety professionals weren’t acted on in a timely or consistent manner. This made it challenging to maintain the proactive safety culture that’s essential in high-risk environments like utility and pipeline construction.

If you’re a safety professional looking for strong leadership support and a field culture that truly values safety, it’s worth asking direct questions about how decisions are made and how the safety team is empowered in the field.

I started from the bottom and have been given amazing opportunities to succeed and learn trades that have changed my life. Coming up I had 2 supervisors who believed in me and gave me all the growth I wanted. I have made bonds and friendships here that I love and cherish. Equix is my home and my family, I love this place and have been told we will not let you fail and that has been the case. I get the support and help that I need. I have been here 8.5 years and plan to retire here. I love these guys and this work. Guys we are a growing company with a huge future. These are my brothers. 

On the over the phone interview they made it sounds like a goog gig. They offered a relocation package to me in the form of per diem for the first month worked and had me move to jax from orlando. Got here and was thrown to the wolves. Didnt meet my manager till the 3rd day and barely saw him after that. Very little safety training but pushed operator training on me even though I am not a operator. Took me 3 weeks to get my laptop and phone. No safety culture.
Bad management.
Big promises made but not kept.
No training.

Definitely an interesting company, Equix is composed of a variety of different sub companies that the parent company bought out. While working with Equix I found that the senior level management for our division was lacking on business development and didn't provide the necessary resources to grow to the levels that was foreseen/Expected

The worst company I have been a part of. The management is a joke. A nickel and dime company. Will manipulate you, and do whatever benefits them without regarding you. The benefits are non affordable. Management in my division was terrible. A lot of just not knowing about the job or the field, also cutting hours/per diem for employees. 

No culture (only exists on paper), Management is way too self centered, does not care about employees at all. Cut throat atmosphere, including singling out certain individuals and deliberately picking on them. NOT a good work atmosphere. 

Upper management absolutely don’t care about people who put in time and try and move the ladder. They treat people who leave without notice and screw a lot of things up better by giving them more pay and positions. While you do good you don’t see a raise. Good Ol Boy network at its finest. 

Equix is a growing company and they desperately need improvement. Management fails to recognize employees, there is no regard for COVID whatsoever. They do have a decent benefits package and salaries. The culture needs to be strengthened and they need to invest more in their employees.

Management doesnt care about your health being and expect a lot out of you. All they care for is numbers. Management in the office have NO communication and they all hated each other. Dont waste your time or else you feel like you have no life at all. 

It's a paycheck, they could pay more but management is trash. long hours, any lil thing you gotta go take a drug test. benefits are ok, lots of back stabbing in this company.
