TransUnion Response

Thank you for sharing your feedback. While I'm pleased to see you felt our compensation was competitive, I am disappointed to read the rest of your review and to hear you had this experience. I want to start by saying favoritism and intimidation tactics are behaviors that we do not stand for at TransUnion. We are dedicated to creating an environment where our associates feel respected, supported, empowered, and have the resources to continuously learn, share and grow. We've been hiring new team members and leadership across the business, and training has been and will continue to be a focus for us. In addition to on-the-job training, one benefit we offer our associates for continued development is LinkedIn Learning. We give all of our associates access to this tool which provides on-demand training in areas of interest to them. Additionally, we pulse-check our associates every so often and have seen growth in engagement levels, so we know we've been making great strides over the last few years, and we won't lose sight of it. We continue to focus on being a top-tier employer as it relates to customer and associate engagement. I want you to know your feedback will be taken seriously and I'd like to hear more about your cons so I can address them. Please reach out to me directly at Todd.Skinner@transunion.com. - Todd Skinner, President - TransUnion Canada, Latin America, and Caribbean

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
