Pros

Fair pay and benefits. In addition flexible work schedules are often permitted.

Cons

In years past there was usually a shared sense of loyalty and common purpose between management and employees. That has been completely discarded under the new management imported from GE (Rick Smith). Morale has truly bitten the dust. The new performance review forces ratings onto a bell curve per group. Only ten percent are eligible for an outstanding rating. If your group is small, say 10 people, then only one can be rated outstanding. That also means that one person must be rated poor. That person's name is guarenteed to be on the list for the next round of layoffs should they occur. Imagine how this affects the morale of a group if they are all above average.

Pros

Overtime options are great. The pay is okay, but be prepared to sacrifice your peace of mind.

Cons

It's like pulling teeth trying to get a day or just a few hours off for doctors appointments, family priorities, etc. I was penalized for missing work due to having a miscarriage and needing immediate medical attention. My supervisor took multiple unscheduled days off, even came in on a Monday and decided she wanted to take the rest of the week off... and did. you are constantly going to be micromanaged and looked at under a microscope. Equifax sacrifices quality service for fast service. there is a constant competition to close more cases per day. Good luck going to higher up with any issues, they will just tell you to hang in there things will be better soon. I experienced retaliation from multiple supervisors for reporting issues I was having with them. laying off hundreds of American employees to take business abroad for cheaper labor while grossing highest profits in company history is insane. In conclusion, this is the most toxic environment I have ever worked in, If the job market was better I would've been gone long before I hit 1 year of employment.
