Pros

Equifax is a great company, been around for a very long time, well respected in Corporate America. The benefits are pretty good as well.

Cons

Equifax is a company that values internal relationships. People are promoted by "Who" they know and are friends with. Not if they're great fits or can help the company grow. The Director and Manager I worked under were not good Managers at all, they were smart individuals but knew absolutely nothing about establishing and encouraging trust and encouraging their employees to be the best they can be. They were promoted because they did things to make their superiors look good. Under their guise, learning, education and appreciation were not promoted. I don't think many people at Equifax who are in Management positions are actually "good" managers at all. Also, I think many employees are severely underpaid. After leaving Equifax, every job I interviewed for paid at least $20K more per year. Long hours, bad pay.

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.
