Current Employee – been working at Equifax as a contractor for less than a year

Pros – Paid weekly on Friday. Meet a few nice people.

Cons – Always feel like you're being watched. Extremely high stress level. Poor training. Poor treatment of employees by team leads and other management. Prison like atmosphere. Too much drama considering they don't want any. Team leads play favorites with certain people. Unprofessional atmosphere. System is not kept up to date. Too many unrealistic expectations in regards to quality and production. Employees can barely say good morning to each other without being reprimanded. Extremely high turnover.

Advice to Senior Management – You need to realize your employees are human beings and not robots. You need to step up your training procedures and start treating people with more dignity and respect. You need to create a better work environment for your employees with more, better ongoing training and support. You need to start listening to your employees more and give them the benefit of the doubt instead of jumping the gun and kicking them out the door because you don't feel like listening to what they have to say. Team leads and management are abusive and get by with way too much. You expect certain things out of your employees. Your employees expect certain things out of you. Change your ways and do it soon.

Current Employee – been working at Equifax full-time

Pros – Some of the people are really great.

Cons – Some of the people are absolutely horrible. You could be let go at any moment. The demands are unreasonable and the recognition for accomplishments is almost non-existent. Employees live under the fear that their jobs will be exported to the offshore office. Working under those conditions is stressful.

Advice to Senior Management – Upper management should really take a close look at middle management and non-managers who have responsibilities over others in the office. Get rid of the toxic people. Pay attention to the day-to-day experiences of the lowest men on the totem pole; they count, and their unhappiness in their jobs is as real as anyone else's, with the added insult that their pay is low and their jobs are not secure.

layoffs all the time. The company is always concentrating on meeting the bottom line at the expense of the employees who they do not seem to value very much.

Former Employee – worked at Equifax as a contractor for more than a year

Pros – They are very laid back and operate at a slow pace.

Cons – Lack of communication. When I was at the interview I liked the vibe with the team leads, but the upper management couldn't give me a straight answer on when I would be permanent. 2 years and three months later they abruptly ended my contract and I received a call that my contract ended after I left work. This is how they treat all of the contractors. There should be regulations to prevent companies like this from abusive temp-perm positions. People have families and bills to take care of.

Advice to Senior Management – Have some integrity...
