Pros

It might be okay to get some brief experience and then move on.

Cons

Very oppressive environment, Expect to do mundane repetitive tasks. Creativity and innovation are stifled. In meetings you will be expected to silently agree with whatever is presented. Office is in a rough area of town. Drug dealing on two sides of the building. Prostitution in the parking lot in the late hours. Dead body found next to the building. Generally unsafe and shady to say the least.

It's a very good place to work

Pros

Very attractive salaries, extensive time off available, very good health insurance benefits, online training opportunities. Can be very rewarding personally to complete many of the product designs and enhancements. Very employee-centric. Rarely have there been significant layoffs in our division.

Cons

Work/Life Balance can be hard to achieve due to a lack of real subject matter experts in our specialized field within Experian. Other employees in unit tend to be very needy don't want to learn new things, and that behavior is apparently encouraged - certainly not discouraged. A con is also that Experian is very employee-centric. It's hard to run a team when we're expected to let them go bowling or do volunteer activities during the middle of the workday.

Pros

The best reasons are that you can learn about your credit report and scores and how it works. Meeting and making friends is a pro also.

Cons

There is no way to advance up unless you are in the click or liked. No raises. Over worked for less pay.
