Pros

Flex time, projects based, fast-paced

Cons

Toxic culture, everyone covers their own self through politics, they justify and endorse poor behaviour to get things done. They're lean on staff, so everyone is overburdened, creates havoc, unmanageable workload, conflicts among and across team members. Even in thee best years of financial growth, employees rarely get recognition and bonuses that reflect the degree of financial growth. Pay raises are poor, and no matter your efforts, you will never shine in employee reviews.

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.
