Pros

TALX has a president who is very bright and helped make the company the success it is today. TALX likes to have fun and provides lots of fun events for thier St. Louis location (HQ) like BBQ for the home opener of the local pro baseball team and fun contests for holidays. They typically promote from within. Worklife balance is great for most positions.

Cons

TALX was acquired in 2007 and is still working to integrate with the parent organization. As with any acquisition of a company, there is dissatisfaction among the acquired employees. However, the structure of TALX has remained in tact for now as a business unit of the parent company. The pay is lower as a result of being a former startup company with lots of opportunity to grow. However, the pay is staying the same as the opportunity for growth/promotion is shrinking.

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.
