Pros

Great working environment at Experian Riskdisk on the sales floor, can be a fun place to work at times & they certainly know how to throw a good Christmas party! The hours are Monday to Friday 9 - 5 which is also a big positive with the odd early finish on a Friday.

Cons

They have a tendency to review targets constantly, when I left there were only an average of 3-4 people a week out of 31 doing the same role as me actually hitting target & therefore earning any commission, it is not unusual for only a single person to earn anything in any one week. The basic wage was £14250 which isn't great and for two years we were being promised a rise to 16k which has never arrived, even now the role is falsely advertised as a basic of £16.5k to lure people through the door. Has quite a high staff turnover.

Pros

The fact they had Remote work

Cons

In my experience, management lacked consistency, transparency, and empathy when addressing employee concerns. After dedicating nearly 16 years to the company, I felt my years of service and commitment were not meaningfully considered when employment decisions were made. I received my first disciplinary action in February 2026 related to FMLA reporting requirements. From my perspective, I was placed on a final corrective action without prior coaching or progressive discipline, which I found surprising after many years with the company. A few months later, I was terminated following a security-related incident while working remotely. I felt I was not given a meaningful opportunity to explain the circumstances before the decision was made, leaving me with the impression that the outcome had already been determined. I also experienced frustration when seeking guidance from Human Resources regarding bereavement policies. I did not feel my concerns were fully addressed or that I received clear explanations to help me understand the company’s position. Overall, I left feeling unsupported and believing that HR’s primary role was to protect the organization’s interests rather than advocate for employees. While every workplace must uphold policies and compliance standards, I believe there should also be room for fairness, open communication, and consideration of an employee’s long-standing dedication and overall performance. My experience left me feeling undervalued and, ultimately, discarded after nearly 16 years of loyal service.
