Pros

-Good pay/benefits -Flexible scheduling -The salaried & middle management employees are mostly decent people who are easy to get along with -Fast paced & productive environment with ambitious goals

Cons

-A once thriving company culture has been decimated by yearly layoffs, typically targeting those employees with the longest tenure (and deepest ties across the organization) -Upper management seems frantic in their inability to commit to a position for long enough to complete an initiative correctly. (In other words - just get it done NOW, never mind the obvious oncoming pitfalls we are choosing to ignore) -Work loads can be outrageous. Management continually talks about "quality of life" and claims to support a 40 hour work week, but then continually commits to deadlines that require effort far exceeding those hours. -There is no true enterprise identity. The company seems obsessed with modeling itself after the success of other corporations, essentially attempting to "copy & paste" those organizations approaches to various business challenges, rather than actually fostering the sort of in house innovation they claim to cherish. -Every year, the number of full time employees with legal citizenship seems to be reduced, in favor of contractors here on work visas.

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.
