Pros

I have been impressed by management's leadership which is strong, fair, and intentional. There is accountability and an expectation of performance and growth. It is a highly collaborative atmosphere. The company also seems to reward employees when the company is successful. I particularly enjoy my colleagues as well as my department which is run transparently and with true concern for the employee holistically. In my department, employees are given a fair bit of autonomy as well as flexibility particularly around working remotely. The company has a strong corporate citizenship program and matches employee donations to charities from $50-$5,000.

Cons

The culture at corporate headquarters (Atlanta) seems stiff and dry. Benefits are less generous than my former employers. Depending on your field, opportunities for career advancement can be limited.

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.
