I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Equinox (Chicago, IL) in Jun 2011
Interview
Long corporate style interview. Phone interview followed by 1-2 sit downs and a floor assessment. Dress pretty and smile if you want to get their attention. It is really easy to be employed there and they try and teach you their way even if you are over qualified with the best certifications in the industry.

Question 1
Silly ones that you can dictate and say anything you want if you're good looking
Virtual and in-person interviews; virtual interview was not too bad it was a recorded interview with situational questions and multiple choice while the in-person interview was mostly a vibe check and seeing how you would take on new clients.

I applied online. I interviewed at Equinox (Greenwich, CT)
Interview
I had a very positive phone interview experience with Equinox. The interviewer was professional, welcoming, and respectful of my time. They asked clear, thoughtful questions about my background and gave a great overview of the role, team expectations, and the company culture. The conversation felt organized and informative, and I appreciated how transparent they were about next steps in the process. Overall, it was a smooth and pleasant interview experience that reflected well on the company.
Super easy, had a round with a recruiter and then met with the manager. They were very transparent about pay and work required. I see a lot of negative reviews about pay, but at least from my experience the whole pay scale was clearly communicated and lined out.
