Pros

For such an old company, the business is very forward-thinking and client-focused. Strategy is well thought out, and clearly communicated (at least to my level in the organization). Employees for the most part genuinely want to help their customers. Workplace is dynamic and flexible.

Cons

Most "laypeople" don't seem to know what Equifax does, and think of EFX as almost a "governmental" agency. We need to work on public image to the consumer so folks understand what we do.

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.
