Pros

The few remaining experienced FTEs are great to work with.

Cons

It will be difficult for this review to be seen with the plethora of "great place to work" and "awesome work-life balance" reviews entered by Equifax themselves. Although Glassdoor does not allow employers to change reviews, they have not worked out a way to prevent spamming reviews to keep the ratings up. This is a review from an actual employee that will probably be buried under the HR ones. Equifax was a decent enough company before the breach. We had issues like any other company, but it was a good place to work. Then came Bryson Koehler, the visionary from The Weather Channel, who would revolutionize everything. Fast forward a couple of years... He has indeed made his mark on the company. Under his brilliant leadership, we now have a work-life balance, in that you work double time most of the year and then get a much-needed break from work when the yearly layoffs come around. His gentle messages explaining why no raises can be given warms my heart since I assume he is also forgoing any additional compensation. It is hard to imagine him having to scrape by another year on a mere $3 million yearly compensation. I would be remiss if I didn't bring up the inclusivity. All the photoshoots with him dancing at Diwalli, or standing momentarily by a person of color are inspiring. I, for one, can never forget his inspiring speech at our Woman's Day event when he explained that women are great at being moms. (Yeah, that happened) For anyone that missed the hints of sarcasm, please, do yourself a favor and do not apply for any positions at Equifax.

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.
