Pros

They have decent pay and great health benefits. My coworkers were very nice.

Cons

Horrible work/life balance. They expect you to be available in the middle of the night for deployments, as well as after hours for support issues, with no compensation. They have a very poor separation process, I had to repeatedly contact them to get my termination packet (for COBRA and 401K info), and I'm having trouble getting my 401K money because they still have me as active in their system. I was there all year, but because I left ONE DAY before the year-end bonus was announced (last year they didn't give it until March, but this year it was in December, which of course I would have stayed for if I'd known), they refused to give it to me. They're just like every other multi-billion dollar company, they don't give a damn about their employees.

TransUnion Response

I am sorry to hear about some of the issues you described with work/life balance. We have made many strides to make sure we have the proper support around the clock to avoid overworking individuals, but we still have some work to do. You can be sure that it has been and will continue to be a priority going forward. I can tell you for certain that people are priority for my team, and we are holding our leadership accountable for building a place where people can feel comfortable, thrive and grow. We will be sure to take in your feedback around the separation process so that it is as smooth as possible. - Mohit Kapoor, CTO

Pros

In your down time, if you're caught up on tickets you can basically do whatever you want granted, you're still attentive to phone calls No overbearing managers checking in on you

Cons

Company feels very disorganized TransUnion uses SalesForce as their main ticketing system, and it is not maintained at all. When a new account manager takes over an account, half the time they do not update who the account manager is in SalesForce or they will simply create a new account. You'll receive a lot of complaints from customers informing you they do not know who their account manager. I've been told by customers that Experian and Equifax list who their account manager is when they log into their accounts. A lot of times you'll be sent on a wild goose chase to track down who the actual account manager is. There are many accounts with the same name or a slightly altered name. For example, there will be walmart, WalMart, WALMART, and you will have to figure out which is the most up to date account for the customer. Some account managers flat out ignore calls and emails from their customers which ends up causing more work for you since they'll be calling and emailing whatever number and/or email they can, and you'll team majority of the time receives the brunt of it. Feels less like IT/technical work and more like a call center where your sole objective is to push tickets and direct tickets to the correct location. There will be many tickets you are unable to resolve on your own because you do not have the correct permissions. Unfortunately, this role is the catch all net for when the system, customers, or other TransUnion employees are unsure who to go to for an issue, meaning, you'll also receive a lot of tickets that do not fall into your scope. For example, you'll receive tickets for billing and invoices, account managers not responding to customers, questions about websites/applications you do not know, and more. A lot of the login error tickets could be reduced if TransUnion websites informed the customer what the issue is. For example, instead of the website informing the customer their account has been locked, or they need to perform a password reset, the website will only tell the customer to contact the 1-800 number, which also creates more work for you. There's honestly a lot more wrong with this position that makes you basically feel like you are the bottom of the barrel, but I only have so much energy
