Pros

Some of the people are great.

Cons

The company runs on who you know and who likes you. Nepotism is rife as is the amount of managers who are not capable of working at the level they have been promoted to. The senior management is tone deaf, and at a top level there is a lack of interest in their staff, apparent by the bullying culture which has got worse in the last three years. Executives who curse and scream at staff are tolerated, women and minorities in management are severely under-represented. HR don't care they now have a model where they report into the head of each area, making a closed loop for any complaints. The benefits are not great and get worse every year. Add to this a dishonest representation of how the company has 'improved' since the breach - at best it is just as bad as it was before, just in a different way. The CEO says he cares about diversity and about the BLM movement; he doesn't. Just look at the make up of the senior management team... Bottom line, the company gets it's assets (data) for nothing and packages them into sales-worthy products - it's a business model that makes money no matter how the economy is doing (especially the St Louis portion of the business). Despite this they keep laying people off just before the holidays then talking about how much money they are making. After each layoff the remaining staff are expected to do more work to make up the short fall. I actively encourage anyone looking for a position to look elsewhere unless they know a senior manager - then they will be absolutely fine.

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.
