Pros

TransUnion is a wonderful company. The group I worked in was certainly a smaller part of the larger TransUnion but this is the first time in my career I felt the company really did "care" about people and care about being good social stewards. Honestly, I didn't think I cared about the social steward piece but something about the vibe it gave to the culture was great. The pay is competitive and there have been misc bonuses for each of the years I was there - from "cash awards" that were actually meaningful sums, to 401k awards. The people I worked with were genuinely good people and I miss working with them. Work life balance was good. Finally, the work was challenging and engaging. I found it to be very satisfying and enjoyed my time at TransUnion.

Cons

The business unit I was in was one of the smaller ones. It left little room for advancement beyond mid-career level. Otherwise, the major con was lack of maturity in the infosec group that didn't seem to understand how to work into software life cycles and business needs which caused all kinds of problems in trying to run a business that could have been better managed through basic communications.

Pros

In your down time, if you're caught up on tickets you can basically do whatever you want granted, you're still attentive to phone calls No overbearing managers checking in on you

Cons

Company feels very disorganized TransUnion uses SalesForce as their main ticketing system, and it is not maintained at all. When a new account manager takes over an account, half the time they do not update who the account manager is in SalesForce or they will simply create a new account. You'll receive a lot of complaints from customers informing you they do not know who their account manager. I've been told by customers that Experian and Equifax list who their account manager is when they log into their accounts. A lot of times you'll be sent on a wild goose chase to track down who the actual account manager is. There are many accounts with the same name or a slightly altered name. For example, there will be walmart, WalMart, WALMART, and you will have to figure out which is the most up to date account for the customer. Some account managers flat out ignore calls and emails from their customers which ends up causing more work for you since they'll be calling and emailing whatever number and/or email they can, and you'll team majority of the time receives the brunt of it. Feels less like IT/technical work and more like a call center where your sole objective is to push tickets and direct tickets to the correct location. There will be many tickets you are unable to resolve on your own because you do not have the correct permissions. Unfortunately, this role is the catch all net for when the system, customers, or other TransUnion employees are unsure who to go to for an issue, meaning, you'll also receive a lot of tickets that do not fall into your scope. For example, you'll receive tickets for billing and invoices, account managers not responding to customers, questions about websites/applications you do not know, and more. A lot of the login error tickets could be reduced if TransUnion websites informed the customer what the issue is. For example, instead of the website informing the customer their account has been locked, or they need to perform a password reset, the website will only tell the customer to contact the 1-800 number, which also creates more work for you. There's honestly a lot more wrong with this position that makes you basically feel like you are the bottom of the barrel, but I only have so much energy
