Pros

Pay is okay. That's about it.

Cons

Poor middle management, lots of corporate double speak, too many unnecessary meetings. If you actually applied to work them it may not be bad. But if they buy out your employer - just quit. Employees brought in through acquisition are treated poorly, and dumped the second upper management decides one of their existing internal teams can take over the new business. 150+ let go at one time. With no advanced notice. If you wind up working for them through acquisition they bought a product - you aren't there to continue your work, you're just a temporarily asset to train their people. No matter what they tell you.

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.
