Pros

Equifax, for the most part, allows for flexible working hours. They are also flexible if you want to work in a home office.

Cons

Salary is way below industry average, Dinosaur of a company that is not innovative, Does not do a good job of caring for its clients, Does not provide recognition to employees, They claim to be on a merit based pay system but then force everyone into a salary range no matter how well you do. On your annual reviews each manager must rate their team which determines your cost of living adjustment. There's nothing wrong with that, except for the fact that if a manager's entire team well exceeded expectations for the year, the manager cannot give everyone a high cost of living adjustment. So you could have outperformed all expectations and end up with a 1% increase in salary. Oh, and they never give raises. I would run far, far, away from this company! In addition, they promote from within and management is VERY incompetent.

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.
