Pros

- Friendly staff - FTO (like PTO) - Job security - Decent work/life balance (but don't tell them that - they'll put more on your plate if you do) - Great opportunity to learn new parts of the industry - Knowledgeable staff

Cons

- No career growth opportunity (even if you complete what they have, they put up walls to prevent you from moving forward) - Uncompensated fairly (same job but all different salaries) - Never receiving merit increases, not even paid inflation pricing (pays less than any other vendor in the healthcare industry - way below market value) - Only best friends of VPs receive promotion opportunities - HR and career growth discussions are there to inflate your mind, don't actually do anything - Internal processes for every single thing. You'll lose a client before you can finish them - Job changes every year - Credit not given when it's deserved - Healthcare benefits continue to decrease every year (It's like a pay cut) - People can steal your clients (this is a big deal if you're in sales!)

Like you, work/life balance is important to me, not only for myself and my family, but for all of our teammates at TransUnion. I want everyone to have opportunities to build moments with friends and family that are meaningful - for me personally, that's one element of our new work from home arrangement that I enjoy most. I'm disappointed to read about the experience you're sharing in your cons. As an enterprise, we've built a people-first culture rooted in growth, innovation and opportunity. We continue to look at ways to evolve career pathing and growth, and we continue to evaluate compensation - ensuring we stay market-competitive.

I highly encourage you to connect with our career coach, Deb, to talk through your individual development plan which will aid in carving out opportunities to continue growing in your career. Please know, your comments will be taken seriously. I hope you'll give me an opportunity to chat with you and understand more about the review you've shared.

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
