Pros

Core product offerings are good.

Cons

It's Toxic. Your performance, confidence, and productivity decline, as you spend time here, just look at anybody who is here 4 yrs or more and you will know. The company has a culture of rewarding failure. People are rewarded for fixing the very issue they created. Mangement is a joke, all they care about is what next role they can get to have a job or how they can ride the next wave. Tema development, direction, morale or empowerment are alienated words.

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.
