Pros

Flexible place to work. Availability to telecommute. Good pay and benefits.

Cons

Senior management takes a short term view of things. They make decisions in a bubble without getting input from the people who actually have to do the work. Decisions are made and no differing opinion is tolerated. Too much outsourcing of work, senior management believes what we get from the outsourcing groups is great, while those of us in the trenches know that most of it is terrible and of low quality.

Pros

Zero Ghosting: Communication was super consistent and clear from start to finish. I was never left wondering. Flexible & Open: The hiring managers were genuinely open to discussing the scope of the role, rather than just handing down a rigid checklist of duties. They Stuck to the Timeline: They verbalized exactly how long the process would take and followed through perfectly. No unexpected delays or moving goalposts.

Cons

Missed the In-Person Connection: While the remote process was smooth, I would have loved the opportunity to meet some of the team in person before finalizing everything. Needed More Day-to-Day Specifics: The big-picture conversations about the role were great, but I could have used a bit more clarity and specific detail around what the actual daily routine and tasks look like.

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.
