Pros

Used to be a good place to work.

Cons

Division President came in, blew everything up, and created a toxic, know-nothing culture. Everyone I know has either been laid off, quit, or is looking for a lifeboat.

Great company, Workforce solutions in turmoil

Pros

Great opportunities for advancement. Reward hard workers. It is true there is an incredible amount of change - and that can be painful - but the real issue is at the top with really good layer 3 leaders and teams.

Cons

The president of the division has gone a bit off tilt. Employees are regularly yelled at and belittled at meetings. He even suggested one group of employees hang his picture in the office because he was delivering their revenue. The worse part is the HR leader enables it. Everyone knows it, no one addresses it.

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.
