Pros

Location in North Fulton is nice. Newly renovated with onsite cafe. Benefits are good. Overall health of the company is excellent. Rick Smith has done an amazing job leading the company through the economic challenges of the past several years.

Cons

Although the company continues to talk about internal opportunities, its just not true. They hand pick the people they want prior to posting opportunities and they do not talk about them within the internal groups. If your good at your job, they want to keep you right where you are. Its easier. Looking at the landscape over the past several years there has been a huge shift. At one time there were a lot of people that had worked here for years and looked forward to retiring from Equifax. Now, all of those people are gone and there are a lot of college grads. The talking points are, "We want to hire the best and the brightest". The truth is, they remove people after about ten years in the organization, hire young grads and pay them half the salary. And work them to death. The CEO's talking points do not filter down to the entire organization. Lets be honest, who do you think has the best and brightest ideas to move a company forward? Someone that has worked in the industry for years or someone right out of college? They need a balanced approached. Its the GE way.

Pros

Zero Ghosting: Communication was super consistent and clear from start to finish. I was never left wondering. Flexible & Open: The hiring managers were genuinely open to discussing the scope of the role, rather than just handing down a rigid checklist of duties. They Stuck to the Timeline: They verbalized exactly how long the process would take and followed through perfectly. No unexpected delays or moving goalposts.

Cons

Missed the In-Person Connection: While the remote process was smooth, I would have loved the opportunity to meet some of the team in person before finalizing everything. Needed More Day-to-Day Specifics: The big-picture conversations about the role were great, but I could have used a bit more clarity and specific detail around what the actual daily routine and tasks look like.

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.
