Pros

Company is making a lot of money, good bonuses (mostly for those in senior roles). Some roles might require overtime but many do not.

Cons

Anyone who has access to the inner workings of the leadership of this Business Unit knows: the President is an autocratic dictator who has created fear and divisiveness among his team (but he pays them well so they call him 'generous', furthermore many can't leave because they won't be able to make as much $ elsewhere), HR reports to him and therefore lacks integrity (ie. he can fire them!), Corporate turns a blind eye (because this is the company's profit center), the rich get richer while the poor stay poor (minimal pay integrity/equity), the company says it cares about customers but marketing materials are all about Equifax (ie. slogan 'it all starts with us'). Some really great people, but some nasty folks too (and it is allowed, even rewarded). My advice: RUN!

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.
