Pros
Equifax is a brand name. There is a lot of flexibility. The benefits and wages are decent but it is truly not worth the aggravation.
Cons
Equifax is very political and their business philosophy is not conducive to motivating sales reps. There are too many people calling on one account, which is confusing to the customer and frustrating to the salesperson. There is no easy way to determine who is doing what. They have too many layers of management who try to look busy. There is no rhyme or reason how they distribute quota. Every time you have momentum, they change direction and move reps and accounts around. Commissions are supposed to be paid quarterly but it takes much longer. They do not release the comp plan until many months after the year begins and it is not easily deciphered. Management does not appreciate employees who perform and have work ethic and instead reward undeserving people who do nothing. Performance numbers are rarely received so you do not know where you stand. The amount of time they require to be spent on administrative tasks is ridiculous, and they constantly have calls and meetings to discuss the same topic over and over. I only wish someone would have told me all this. I would highly recommend you think about working for one of the many great organizations out there that have leaders who understand sales. The hard reality and truth is that is not the case at Equifax.
