Pros

CEO C-level executives are incredible Cross-functional coordination is strong Great benefits (not a fan of FTO though) Strong leadership On the job training is solid if you allow it Great location (Chicago HQ’s) High employee IQ/talent

Cons

Work/life balance is slipping fast Mgmt too concerned about 2-3 yr outlook to reward today’s work (both good and bad but take a step back and praise success) Overcrowding - no privacy, no room for huddles Very Cliquey (if you drink and can attend after hours happy hours and even weekend meetups you get an edge, which shouldn’t happen) FTO means for the experienced little to no time off because of growing work/life balance pressures and for the Jr employees without the same pressures, plenty time off...without a clear way for mgrs to stop because HR policy allows it). Inter/intra-department in-fighting (all are on the same team)

TransUnion Response

I appreciate you sharing your review. A few of your comments got me thinking… it's true, we're growing and we have to move fast, so I can understand the pressure you may have felt during your time here. But even in those busy times, it is my sincere hope for all associates that they are included, valued and recognized so I am disappointed to read this wasn't quite your experience. We implemented Flexible Time Off for that very reason - to give our associates more flexibility for both work and personal priorities. It saddens me you felt as if you could not take off the same amount of time that you enjoyed prior to FTO. Please know our tenured associates are incredibly valued and encouraged to take the well-deserved time off they've earned. Again, I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback - I really value your thoughts. - Anne Leyden, EVP HR

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
