Pros

Generous compensation plan if you can sell anything. No pricing flexibility and products are stale

Cons

Everything. Leadership is horrible. Micro-managers everywhere. Non-stop internal meetings taking away from selling time, no training to learn products, no leads provided to sales. Everything is generated through cold calls by the sales people. Expectation is for seasoned salespeople to convert to cold-callers/inside sales people.

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.
