Pros

Most people outside of the c-suite are very good to work with.

Cons

Mark Begor is a coward when it comes to telling the truth to investors, but has no problem setting unrealistic targets for the business while at the same time handcuffing the business from doing what would be necessary to achieve those unrealistic targets. It mostly comes from either willful ignorance or hubris. This brand of decision-making is driving a lot of chaos, unproductive/unnecessary work, and reduced comp/AIP across the organization.

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.
