Pros

Associates are really great to work with. They know what they're doing and there's just very good rapport in my department. Salary/pay grade is great. It meets the requirement for the job level.

Cons

- there are no processes at all. Our managers don't really know what the processes are either which is a bind whenever we try to complete a project. - performance ratings are not calculated fairly. There is no career plan per associate in the first place so why are we being rated in that manner? When you try to ask why the rating was like that, managers are unable to provide clear explanations. - slow and poor decisioning from management team. There are times that issues are escalated up to management, but it takes us months before we can prepare what we can share to the client. It places our schedule behind and overall trust of our clients are long gone by then. this places pressure on middle men to provide the answer even when its not yet approved by management. - limited support from HR on company issues. no intervention from them when company issues arise. - people don't do their jobs properly which places us in a bind when we need to escalate other issues in other departments.

TransUnion Response

While I’m glad to read about your positive experience with colleagues and satisfaction with your salary, I’m concerned to read your cons. Performance reviews are incredibly personal – every associate deserves open, honest and fair feedback about their performance, and support for their career development. We’ve spent a lot of time investing in our manager training programs to ensure managers are providing this experience for their people. We’ve also adopted a more standardized approach for goal setting and performance ratings. Please know HR always is available to assist you. Also, I am here to listen and would like to understand more specifics about your feedback so we can try to solve for some of the cons you mention. Please reach out to me directly. - 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
