Pros

Management is very understanding about the need for time off to take care of familly and other personal obligations. Other employees are consistently friendly and inclusive to everyone. The benefits package is, I feel, about average compared to similar companies/jobs, maybe even a little better than average. The company does try to promote from within when feasible, and announcements are made when someone moves into a higher management role. The company also hosts many different types of fundraising events for the community and encourages volunteerism outside of the workplace with its matching PTO (vacation time) program. College tuition assistance is offered up to a certain limit per year.

Cons

Very little exposure to other departments is readily available. Most employees have little to no idea of the broader structure outside of their specific role. The best way to combat this is by asking a lot of questions, but even then, it can be difficult to determine who the best person is to ask. The workload in certain departments can be extremely overwhelming, and as a result, some departments are full of noticeable tension.

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.
