Pros

Hands-off management style; low to no micromanaging. You can more or less decide what you want to do there once you're hired on. Time off was easy to come by.

Cons

Lack of company direction; constantly assigned to do busywork. Management panders to the bad attitudes of lower-level employees due to unwillingness in actually dealing with the bad attitudes. Very clique-ish. Low pay.

Pros

The people who do the day to day work to keep the wheels turning and the lights on are highly conscientious and hard working. Good people doing good work and generally enjoying the daily challenges. The company is growing and people are generally upbeat and optimistic about the future. Equifax respects your personal time and doesn't expect you to work on weekends or demand crazy overtime hours to demonstrate commitment. The culture is pretty much a 9-5 mindset. The parking lots are empty before 8 and after 5. CEO is one of the best. when it comes to laying out a vision and a strategy. You can't argue with his success and what he's done for shareholders over the last 10 years. He's also a good person, which is rare when it comes to CEOs. The only knock against him would be that he's not a good judge of talent. He's hired some duds and keeps non-performing poor leaders around way too long.

Cons

There is little or no opportunity for promotion beyond the VP level. Executive level politics are horrible, and although they talk about a "meritocracy", it's just a sound bite. Promotions are awarded more like a beauty contest than based on performance. Compensation is below average. If you stay longer than 3 years you get left behind on your compensation and they hire new people in at much higher salary levels. Also, the disparity in pay between the Senior Leadership Team and the rest of the company is HUGE. Benefits package is expensive and keeps getting more expensive every year as the company pushes more of the cost down to the employees.
