Pros

It's a job. Steady paycheck Minimal work required. Heavily favors African Americans

Cons

Employees rewarded only for length of employment No place for new ideas Innovation is a word in the dictionary. Risk takers and new ideas are mired in bureaucracy. Want to get an idea contributed? Prepare a business case that only a CFO can understand in 200 pages or more. Don't forget the carbon paper. Employees provided with outdated, underpowered technology secured by Gestapo - like security. Pay is nothing special. Senior management concerned about their own stock rewards and won't make any deciions without first consulting their stock culture. Management should be put out to pasture, they retire when they get too I'll and stay past retirement age. Want office supplies? typical request to fulfill takes 3 months for anything other than a paper clip. Did I mention bureacracy? Lots of big titles, no support staff. This results in nothing ever getting done. Marketing is a bad word. Suppression of employee enthusiasm HR incompetent with too much control in org. Ever see an HR chief office next to CEOs? No investment in marketing, new product debelopment,employee training. Employees have no personality.

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.
