Pros

Get to work from home every now and again. Starting pay, benefits, and bonus program are all about average or meh.

Cons

Wow. Where to begin? Senior leadership at Equifax Workforce Solutions is abysmal and unethical. Some of them would make great politicians considering how much and how often they lie. My co-worker is at 120% of his sales goal for the year and was just put on a PIP by his senior leadership for "not generation enough opportunity." This is exactly how you lose good sales people. Another issue this company seems to struggle with is ethics and integrity. They will do ANYTHING to make a dollar off your data. We work with different payroll companies and have agreements in place with them that prohibit us from contacting their clients for sales opportunities. Our VP instructed us to ignore these agreements and to contact clients that we were not supposed to be reaching out to. Also, don't get too comfortable when you are hired. Equifax has gone through 3+ rounds of layoffs the last 2 years and you can expect that trend to continue. Most departments are currently running on fumes due to the amount of layoffs. You have to understand that Equifax board members and shareholders are more important than you and senior leadership won't hesitate to do another round of layoffs in order to make their shareholders happy.

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.
