Pros

Decent pay, benefits, Attempting to be more a more progressive company and move past just being a stodgy credit bureau.

Cons

Most companies have been allowing their employees to work from home now for several months and Equifax is no exception. What is surprising is that we are being asked to come back in so we can collaborate and yet no one is able to do that with social distancing. The truth is that although some departments may benefit to some degree by collaborating, others do not. Why ask people to come to an office if they can’t get near anyone anyway? There appears to be no issues with the performance of those working from home so why force people back? If Equifax wants to be a progressive company, their draconian policies of forcing people back in an office seem outdated. Google, Twitter and others are allowing 100% remote work regardless of when Covid is no longer an issue. This is not the time to force people into an office just because you can. If you want to be the progressive data and analytics company, then look at your outdated policies and consider that you are still acting like this is 1990. My generation does not need to sit in an office to perform. Have some faith and trust in your employees that they will perform without being forced into an office. We can work effectively from any location which also includes our own spaces.

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.
