Pros

Most of the coworkers are pleasant, benefits are good—several options for health insurance. Equifax has good work-life policies but they are not equally applied.

Cons

This is not a tax job; it’s data entry. It’s worth noting that the EEOC has opened an inquiry into concerns about the work environment and illegal practices. Equifax has positive work life policies but this department has chosen to eliminate all of them and the manager isn't fair. You won't get to use flex time, vacation time or flex time unless you're the manager's friend. If you prefer being treated like a child rather than a professional, you’ll like it here. The work is mind numbing, and management is the worst I’ve encountered in my long career. Expect considerable micromanagement from an incompetent out of state manager who has no leadership ability at all, lies and gives inconsistent and incorrect instruction. Another manager is present and fair but does not contribute and is little more than a warm body. Training is inadequate, and deadlines are often impossible due to convoluted processes that are out of your control. The IT systems are clumsy and redundant. Micromanagement and a toxic environment are the norms. unless you're the favorite employee, who tends to socialize constantly and disrupt others. While most employees are pleasant and hardworking, the negative atmosphere is hard to ignore. This department does not produce anything of value, and the consensus is that the bad management will probably bring about its elimination.

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.
