Pros

Friendly and open culture, for example meetings are often filled with laughter and jokes as staff allowed to "be themselves" and managers are not formal. TU encourages diversity and supports women in technology Low pressure compared to similar roles, as the teams are well sized and not understaffed so the workload is manageable and people are not that stressed. As you have room to breathe you do better work and come up with good ideas Good Benefits (pension, holiday buy/sell, shopping discounts, headspace app, linkedin learning, acloudguru, gym discount, more things I forgot!) Paid rewards for passing exams Flexibility in starting/ending times, doctors appointments etc No Micromanaging, this is a huge one, no one is checking up on you and you are trusted to find and solve problems autonomously, and encouraged to make suggestions for larger improvements that need other teams to collab. Good Pay On-call is optional Wireless kit and extra monitors provided

Cons

Honestly not many, just a things to be expected like Lots of technology and processes to navigate Some legacy and technical debt issues to workaround Sometimes too many meetings in one day Remote on-boarding process has a few hiccups and takes a while to get access/accounts setup so can feel helpless or bored in the first couple weeks.

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
