Equus Workforce Solutions Reviews

Horrible Upper Management. Terrible Benefits and Pay for this field. Employees are treated as disposable. Participants are treated as a number, not as people. They put too many unrealistic expectations on the employees to keep the money coming in, and yet after two years the only raise I got was $1, with some employees getting no raise. Upper Management is unapproachable, or they just yes you to death and then ignore anything you said. The toxicity in this place was through the rough. I feel as though I gained 5 years of my life back upon leaving. It's a shame because I love helping people, but if you have that passion, you cannot make a difference here. They will never let you. One of my participants wanted to work in medical, but they kept trying to stick her in McDonalds due to it being an easy placement. If you really need a job in a pinch, make this place an in between job til you find something else. The stress is not worth it. Everything you do could easily be done from home but they refuse to offer remote days, even if you are experiencing a medical emergency.

Be prepared to experience corporate abuse! This is a keep your head down and check the boxes business. They require the team of TDS’s to fulfill the contracts while the upper end takes away all their tools! What does this mean? It means Equus receives large amounts of state and federal tax dollars. The Directors, Accountants and Supervisors swindle as much as they possibly can leaving the communities with substandard services. The new hires typically chose this line of work because they are passionate about serving their community. It never takes long to realize this is a corrupt contract. The funder Northwest Oregon Works (NOW) is fully aware of the issues but continues to renew the contract with Equus instead of putting it out for bid. Our staff deserve better, our communities deserve better and the tax payers deserve better!
