Pros

Unfortunately, there are no Pros about this organization. As a 20+ year HR professional I guess the only one Pro is that there are other organizations to work for that are extremely better than Equifax.

Cons

Please understand that it is not my nature or character to talk bad about any company that employs people to earn a living. But as a 20+ year HR professional that has had the pleasure and blessing to work for many large organizations. Equifax by far was the worst experience I have had. The culture is one that no person should be subjected to. It truly is a environment that seeks every opportunity to degrade rather than uplift, quick to point out the simplest and most innocent mistakes in order to chastise and devalue. And a leadership team that will not support its employees for fear of losing title.

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.
