Pros

Depending on the team you may luck out with a good manager. People generally want to do the right thing (unless you’re talking about senior management, which is another story entirely).

Cons

Senior management and c-suite is straight up toxic. Leadership by fear and coercion. Unprofessionalism and disrespect run rampant while giving lip service to the peons doing the work as though we’re “one Equifax”. Also, vast majority of employees already worked from home quite often pre-pandemic. Pandemic hit, we were all working from home and we had record profits. Now they’re touting this 3 in, 2 out hybrid model like it’s the most magnanimous thing for them to support, supposedly to enhance collaboration. As though we weren’t collaborating during the height of covid when we all worked from home. Competitors are reading the room and letting employees wfh as needed. As a result, high performers are leaving in droves with c-suite turning a blind eye with a myopic focus on short term gains.

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.
