Pros

I loved my work family and working for the company was great in the beginning. My position was fulfilling, I loved my clients and enjoyed going to work until the Equifax breach.

Cons

Equifax messed up - the data breach tarnished them in the public's eyes. They started doing damage control, in my opinion, in the worse ways. An office was started in Costa Rica to "help" with the flow of every day work. Changes were being made to the system to "help" make our job easier. The changes being made were upsetting clients and definitely were not helping us in our positions. Satellite offices were being closed that took care of million dollar clients and those clients were moved elsewhere.

Pros

My direct manager. Comp plan if you’re lucky enough to find several whale clients, and if you’re lucky, the commission is approved.

Cons

There are a lot. First, office politics. Equifax expects employees to be very corporate and robotic. Metrics metrics metrics. 100% focused on revenue, not customers. Metrics, metrics, metrics. PIP overuse. Even when you’re 150% to yearly plan 6mo in, they expect 300%. Make sure to keep receipts. Senior management will find the most ridiculous ways to push reps out, continently right before a huge payout of a very delayed commission plan. (Sell something in Jan 2025, you will only get a fraction of commission until June 26). That’s if the exception committee approves payout (which never happens). If you sell a big deal, don’t expect to get paid 100% of what the plan says.
