Pros

Benefits are decent, similar to other companies. That's the nicest thing I can think of right now.

Cons

Absolutely no recognition for working hard. Some flexibility in schedule, but no real work/life balance. Management is inept at best and maniacal at worst. All anyone does at Equifax is sit in planning meetings for projects that either fall apart, or are very ineffectively implemented. Promotions and advancement are based on one's ability to suck up to executives and NOT on capability or work history. So, if you plan on working there, keep that in mind for your career growth. They claim to pay based on performance and meritocracy, but time and time again the restrict managers by specifying across-the-board increases (or lack of increases). Always received average and above average ratings for my work and saw a total increase of 3.8% over the course of FOUR YEARS! Completely not worth the effort and massive amount of personal time invested. I left the company voluntarily after more thank six years of service because the stress of working there was damaging my personal and professional life. Poor leadership, ineffective product and project management, lack of recognition (personal or financial) and overall lack of respect for employees in general.

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.
