Pros

-Great work ethic across all departments. -Smart employees, especially on the services team -Experian name is trusted within the industry -Provides good foundation. Training program has been boosted up this past year. -Great Christmas and Company Day parties -Quick to recognize own weaknesses, and management puts action plans in place to fix it. But... -Management team is majority homegrown, showing proven potential for advancement within company.

Cons

-A majority of the action plans (said above) do not get followed through after announced. Lots of plans to make plans. -Extreme, extreme, extreme micromanagement culture. Get ready to explain your hour to hour to your direct manager. This is most prevalent on the sales team. -Major turnover because of the micromanagement culture. All of the best employees/managers leave because senior management disagrees with the micromanagement opinion. -Management team is majority homegrown, so all of their ideas come from within the bubble. There will be no new ideas based on successful experiences from other companies. Lots of recycled ideas from the senior managers. 80% are homegrown.

Pros

The people who work there are all lovely. Very flexible with work patterns compared to other companies. Generally people are very accommodating and understanding. Good benefits and company has a strong support for community work.

Cons

Higher management don't understand the underlying issues about the company. Pay little attention when staff overwork themselves to the point where working longer hours is almost expected from people.
