TransUnion reviews

You'll never make a lot of money. Upper management probably does really well and that is about it. It is not a sales-oriented company. If you are a money-motivated sales professional this is not the right sales position for you. If you want to make 70 to 100k a year without having to work too hard then it is a good spot for you. If you only want to make that much you probably shouldn't be in sales. Part of the issue is the product is so good and needed that it sells itself and there is such a high level of residual business that the business grows without anyone doing anything or looking at the problems and making adjustments. The managers are all afraid to do anything because the business grows by itself and they look like heroes to top management and they are paid really well so why rock the boat? There is a huge bureaucracy here and middle management has zero control over actually making any changes that will help the business. They are just paper pushers. No one seems to care about marketing, or fixing internal operational processes that would improve revenues dramatically. . Also one of the big drawbacks that are not unique to just TransUnion but to all really large companies is your ability to move up quickly based on merit. They fall into the trap of job codes and you can only move from one job to another job based upon your job code. And of course, you need to be in a job a certain amount of time before you can be promoted to another one. It doesn't matter what your prior experience was before you worked there. Furthermore, you can only get a raise of "X' percent based upon your prior pay before a promotion. However, if you came in from the outside you can get hired right into the correct role and get paid a lot more money than someone that got promoted from within for the exact same job since there is no limit on what percent increase you can receive. . It really discourages individuals to stay with a company and move up and be promoted.

Zero opportunity to grow in some departments. Once you're stuck in one job function there is zero development or job growth if you're not liked. Training is lacking, especially for new employees in specific departments. Management seems to put all of the priority on technical development, but no energy towards people development. Way more concerned about their own career and not the associates. Assumptions tend to be the norm, rather than proper fact gathering.
