Pros

I don't have a very long commute and the good cafeteria is good. People are nice but that is it!

Cons

Poor training Severely low pay Lack of career growth Health benefits too expensive Our department lacks proper training methods. The pay is extremely low along with the bonus. There is no visible career ladder to climb.

Pros

The location is good if that's important with easy access to various expressways. There are a lot of restaurants around the area. The building is nice and well maintained.

Cons

Where do I even start? I sell on the phone to mid-sized companies. (under 5000 employees) It's all cold calling and grind, grind, grind. The team is ok but has a lot of small-minded politics. Actually, the same can be said for the entire company. The bigger issue is the management of this team. Horrible, not supportive, political, and negative doesn't really begin to describe it. The management of the team is so bad that I'm actively looking for a new position outside of this company, even though I'll probably make over $100k this year. It just isn't worth it anymore.

Pros

Long time stable organization that is in the midst of a refocusing on new data driven solutions. Piles of data both regulated and unregulated for use in developing new services.

Cons

The focus on the bottom line has lead to the "job elimination" of legacy employees (15+ years of service) resulting in a drain on IP that cannot be replaced with younger less expensive associates. The focus on quarter to quarter bottom line has resulted in the changing, after the fact, of the incentive program refusing to pay top performers the $$ they earned under the program. The reasoning being "the program structure was paying out too much for the individual's account portfolio size." Bottom line - people worked their tails off to achieve exceptional results, regardless of their "portfolio size", to improve the EFX bottom line, only to be told that what they thought they earned was determined after the fact to be more than the architects of the plan felt was appropriate.
