Anyone who thinks this company cares about them is either naive or hasn't been around long enough. - Anonymous employee EquipmentShare Employee Review

There is no loyalty in EquipmentShare. Willy and Jabbok Schlacks, the president and CEO, couldn't care less about their employees. Jabbok probably won't even bother to learn your name. The turnover is astounding in a company this size. People lose their jobs without warning or even reason all the time. One woman was fired at the end of her second day because someone decided she didn't fit the company culture. Being good at your job is no protection. The only security comes from either having grown up on the commune with the Schlacks brothers or being politically connected to the right people. Then you can be completely incompetent and no one will say a word. The corporate office is particularly toxic. At one point, they lost the entire HR staff because of it. Think about that - the very people whose job it is to handle work relationships couldn't handle the junior high environment of Equipmentshare. Communication is practically nonexistent, particularly from company officers. If you do a project for Willy or Jabbok, if you're lucky, Willy will get back to you two months later with some vague changes. Jabbok can't even be bothered to look at what you did for him. Thus you'll operate under the impression it was fine, until months later, you'll hear through the grapevine he hated it. Not that he could be bothered to actually speak to you to say so. You will also notice this communication and lack of decisiveness in other projects. You'll be subjected to endless rounds of revisions and changes as people change the project's scope. After making six different versions of the same project, the stakeholders will abruptly change their mind and decide they wanted something very similar to the first iteration. For further proof of this, drive by one of the ES yards and count the number different logos on machines. The Schlacks brothers only care about lining their own pockets. Thus, despite having a good and profitable business model, they couldn't wait to grow organically and went through four different rounds of venture capital raising. And by giving up a bigger and bigger stake of the company each time, they brought on investors who wanted their own people in place. And that, of course, often means giving the boot to the same people who put you in a position for such success in the first place. Hey, but the CEO has a nice Tesla, so who cares about your livelihood? Who needs integrity when you're rich? Ironically, Willy prides himself on their generous severance package. It is a nice, but hardly makes up for losing your job without warning.
