Pros

Enjoy reading hundreds of emails Good health benefits Learn how to handle stress with long hours If you have good reading and writing skills then it is more helpful than technical skill

Cons

When I joined the company, I thought this is great company to build my career and learn new technology. But I ended up with completely different experience The company is out sourcing most of the development work to offshore, so there is less opportunity to learn. The core business is credit bureau but reasonable part of production support is also outsourced. Management is only concentrated what you don't do or can't do and never appreciates your hard work or long hours. You have higher chances of survival rate if you know how to worship management all the time. The company has human recycling program to layoff after two to three years. Old folks keep the control and new employee is hired per project basis. If you get bad review after first year of job then you should know what is coming. Man agent is busy finding your mistakes, demoralizing you during the review process. If you like to read hundreds of emails and work on less technical stuff then this is best place for you Management has no technical skills and the culture of the company is "asking question is smart thing" but no one thinks that why a director is asking questions after 15 to 20 years of experience in the same e company to new employee. So, there is nothing to learn but teach all the time.

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
