Pros

Free parking, modern break room

Cons

Too many to list. Minimal healthcare and benefits, mandatory overtime, indifferent and incompetent management, lack of care infrastructure for employee needs. This place will only drain you dry. There is black mold in the ceilings that was being covered up by a panel "remodeling". Thousands of dollars are spent on food for president visits and break room refrigerators but not on employee benefits or wages. Management would interfere with call queue functions for hare-brained attempts at increasing production line output when in reality, only served to diminish productivity further due to a lack of understanding how the call agents' responsibilities are organized. This employer will only ever attempt to offset the negativity and suffering inflicted on the agents daily by hosting potlucks or free lunches every 4-6 months or so. Mandatory overtime dominated over half a year for this former employee. Pay grade is not increased by becoming trained in multiple responsibilities, even if responsibilities increase to significant workplace-affecting levels.

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.
