Pros

Other than the name on your resume, there is no good about this company.

Cons

You're promised all sorts of things.ie; promotions, raises, recognition when you begin your 'journey' to hell. You work hard then work harder then yet even harder and management expects more and more and more from you. But do they reward your efforts? Noooo!!! They raise their expectations of you so you'll work even harder, and harder. Then they'll raise the bar so high that you can't POSSIBLY met the goals so then they can haul you into the dreaded 'conference' room to inform you of your failures and ask you how you can work harder to get back to the place you were at before. Huh? But you've made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to hit my goal. They don't care!!! They want you to work harder and harder and longer and faster and don't take breaks and work through your lunch and work late and work work work work work. And if, by some divine miracle you actually DO succeed, they'll just throw more and more work on you. And that's ALL the reward you'll get from this greedy, corporate, money hungry, stockholder driven company. That's it!

Pros

My direct manager. Comp plan if you’re lucky enough to find several whale clients, and if you’re lucky, the commission is approved.

Cons

There are a lot. First, office politics. Equifax expects employees to be very corporate and robotic. Metrics metrics metrics. 100% focused on revenue, not customers. Metrics, metrics, metrics. PIP overuse. Even when you’re 150% to yearly plan 6mo in, they expect 300%. Make sure to keep receipts. Senior management will find the most ridiculous ways to push reps out, continently right before a huge payout of a very delayed commission plan. (Sell something in Jan 2025, you will only get a fraction of commission until June 26). That’s if the exception committee approves payout (which never happens). If you sell a big deal, don’t expect to get paid 100% of what the plan says.
