Pros

Company 401k match and usually great team mates to work with

Cons

Equifax does not truly care about their employees. Most of senior leadership and are out for themselves not the employees. You would think being promoted would be easier in a mid-size to large company, but if you are not friends with certain members of the leadership team you will not be promoted. When jobs are posted most of the time the manager already has an idea of who they want to hire, but are required to have the role posted and the other half of the time the role never gets posted and the role is given to someone as a "promotion". Lastly, if you change roles within the company you pay almost always never reflects your job change. People at Equifax make 20-30K below their salaries, because they've been internally promoted. Imagine working with new colleagues who come off the street with the same job title as you making 20-30k more for the same job. It use to be a great place to work, but don't become complacent or you will not be happy.

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.
