Equifax – “Use to be reat, now not so much”
Pros
Pension Plan was in place when I was there - great
Benefits were very good
Independent work environment - outside sales
Encouraged Family time
Training was excellent
Cons
Upper Management - Ivory Tower Syndrome
Ostrich with a head in the sand approach to a lot of problems
Drink the koolaid mentality of IT - nothing can be wrong - it makes me laugh when I see the IT awards they get undeservedly and makes me wonder if the employees of the IT mags in Atl that are always ranking them so high are in bed with Equifax - or just want a job there.
Legal and any department for that matter will kill a project if they don't like an employee that is working on it - see it done - heard em laugh about it.
Internal support employees are always walking around or not at their desk - makes it impossible to get anything done
Will run a sweat shop if they think they can get away with it.
Blatant disregard of the consumers whose information they "steward". They aren't concerned about errors in their data base they just want business from the commecial sector.
Advice to Senior Management
Stop drinking the Koolaide the employees are giving you - Really - any given day, Please call random phone extensions during the day of your corporate and tech center for internal sales/service support and see how many people actually answer their phones or are at their desk -It will be eye opening!
