Pros

I like the actual job duties but for some people they may seem monotonous. They start you off as an outbound agent to verify we have the right email or fax number to fax them forms HR/Payroll/Management need to fill out. If you do get all that information, managements starts giving you different queues to work on: usually they suck because for some reason they're not getting the information or Equifax fax system misses the faxes. If you do well on that, you'll become an auditor: you review the forms. If anything is missing or wrong, you call the employer to let them to fix their mistake. If you meet your quota, you'll become an inbound agent and you definitely have to meet your quota to get promoted to Help Desk. That's the department where you troubleshoot what other agents can't. However you may get moved to Transcribed instead... if management thinks you don't cut it as an inbound agent.

Cons

LOW pay. It was $10 when i worked there and you had to wait 18 months before they hired you. Now it's $12 and 90 days. I know their supervisors got paid $14 and they did a ton. I honestly think they should pay supervisors at least $18 and the Verification of employment specialist $13.50 to start at least for all call volume they want them to meet. Another con: management doesn't care. They don't really try to get to know you or if you bring a complaint or idea on how to ease workflow they'll just say "uh huh uh huh. Ok thank you" and never address it.

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.
